Faculty of Science
The goal of the Faculty of Science at Lund University is to conduct operations of the highest standard in order to understand, explain and improve our world and the human condition.
At Lund University’s Faculty of Science, we study and describe the physical world. We seek to understand everything from the smallest components of nature and molecular processes in the human body to the sensitivity of climate systems and the capacity of exoplanets to support life. Research in science enables the development of new drugs, new building materials and models that predict climate change, and offers us the giddy realisation that we may not be alone in the Universe.
The Faculty of Science is ranked among the top 50 in the world for several subjects (Times Higher Education and QS). We have undergraduate and postgraduate programmes and courses that aim both to satisfy our students’ burning interest in science and to meet the need of society for competent science graduates.

Faculty of Law
The Faculty of Law at Lund University is a modern faculty with a clean international profile. We offer an environment which is suitable and welcoming for Swedish and international students, lecturers and researchers alike. Education, research and interaction with the surrounding community are the three mainstays of our work. The connection between these three mainstays is particularly apparent in the programmes and courses on offer, where students meet both researchers and professionally active lawyers with qualifications and experience from various areas of law.
The faculty's geographical location, in the heart of the Oresund region, brings unique opportunities for boundary-crossing cooperation in the surrounding area; at the same time we also have well developed contacts with different universities throughout the world. We have a large number of exchange agreements which make it possible for our students to study abroad within the framework of their degree programme, while law students from a host of other countries can study for one or several semesters at our faculty.

Faculty of Social Sciences
The Social Sciences consist of a number of disciplines which strive to understand people and human relationships in terms of structures and systems.
Most of the challenges of our time are the result of human activity and must be solved through societal processes. Scientists provide important contributions to identifying and explaining environmental problems, for example. Engineering and medicine can create
solutions for these problems. But implementing new ideas requires a combination of knowledge about and questioning of human behaviour and our social and political institutions.
Our researchers’ task is to make the functioning and dynamics of society comprehensible, thereby creating the opportunity to change and, in the best case, prevent the occurrence of problems. Education and research in the social and behavioural sciences generates knowledge and solutions that contribute to efficient social organisation, economic competitiveness and socially sustainable development
