This list of universities and colleges in Sweden is based on the Higher Education Ordinance of 1993 (as amended until January 2006). With few exceptions, all higher education in Sweden is publicly funded. The listing includes the officially recognised independent higher education institutions that operate under contract with the Swedish Ministry of Education, Research and Culture. Independent programme providers are not included. The Swedish higher education system differentiates universities (Swedish: universitet) and colleges (Swedish: högskola).
[edit] Universities[edit] State universitiesUniversities have the right to award the academic degrees of bachelor, master and doctor. They carry out extensive research in a variety of academic disciplines and contribute new knowledge to the world of science. The order of precedence is based on their year of establishment as a university. Only Uppsala University (est. 1477) and Lund University (est. 1666) were actually founded as universities, whereas all the other universities were raised from högskola (college) status to the higher university status after they had been founded. A number of formerly Swedish universities are now located in other countries and are not included in this list, e.g. the University of Helsinki (1640, Finland), the University of Tartu (1632, Estonia), and the University of Greifswald (est. 1456, Germany, Swedish from 1631–1815).
[edit] Independent institutionsChalmers University of Technology in an independent university founded in 1829 in Gothenburg. [edit] CollegesIn contrast to the above-mentioned universities, the Swedish colleges (Swedish: högskola) usually do not carry out much research on their own, nor do they usually have the right to award Doctor's degrees. The translation into English by the Swedes is often "university college" or simply "university", but this may be misleading as they are neither colleges of another university nor a proper university by Swedish definitions. Some of the colleges listed here offer courses only in a certain academic discipline such as business or music, and hence do not cover the whole spectrum of academia. Some former colleges have been raised to university status in the past by the Swedish government and are now listed above. [edit] Awarding doctoral degrees
[edit] Awarding Bachelor's and Master's degrees[edit] Art CollegesThe art colleges are usually a relatively independent part of a university. They award undergraduate degrees, but also conduct research and development in the arts. The universities of Karlstad, Luleå and Örebro and the university college of Malmö have their own Music Academies. Five academies of great public recognition but without legal status of their own are found at the University of Gothenburg, where the Faculty of Fine and Applied Arts is in charge of the Valand School of Fine Arts, the School of Design and Crafts, the School of Theatre and Opera, the School of Music and Musicology and the School of Photography and Film. Certain other universities and university colleges also offer individual courses and/or programmes within the Arts sector. [edit] Medical schools and university hospitalsThere are six medical schools in Sweden, each associated with a university and a university hospital. Often, their division (faculty) of the respective university also includes a nursing school, physiotherapy and/or other health-related professional training programmes.
Örebro University has no faculty of medicine of its own, but Örebro University Hospital is in the process of building a research and education institute. [edit] International rankings[edit] THE–QS World University RankingsRanking list according to the THE–QS World University Rankings:
