Lund University (Lunds universitet) has roots going back to 1425, when a Franciscan studium generale was founded next to the Lund Cathedral, making it the oldest institution of higher education in Scandinavia. After Sweden won the province Scania from Denmark in the Treaty of Roskilde, the current university was founded in 1666 on the location of the old studium generale. The university is traditionally housed in the centre of Lund, with over hundred buildings scattered around town, but most of them are concentrated in the city centre. Lund University is ranked among the world’s top 100 universities; it has 42.000 students and more than 7.500 staff members.
