The City
Karlstad, the county town of Värmland, is situated in a delta on the northern shore of Lake Vänern where the river Klarälven branches into many arms before flowing into Lake Vänern. The city has just over 80,000 inhabitants and lies at the heart of Scandinavia with Gothenburg, Stockholm, Copenhagen and Oslo within easy reach. It offers the pleasures of a small town and yet has the facilities of a city. It now ranks as one of the best student cities in Sweden.
The University
Karlstad University – we challenge the known and explore the unknown. Our students and staff develop knowledge and skills for individual enrichment and to contribute to a sustainable society. Our creative academic environments are characterised by curiosity, courage and persistence. Our education and research is underpinned by a close dialogue with private companies and public organisations. The modern campus embodies the perfect blend of work and pleasure. The buildings, surrounded by greenery, are varied and welcoming, and provide inspirational environments for learning and socialising in indoor and outdoor spaces.
