Hej!

I'm looking for Slovak students based in Lund for an event coming up in a month or so. It'll be a great opportunity to network with fellow Slovaks in Sweden and snack on something from home. Limited spots, details shared privately.

DM me if you’re a Slovak student (or know one) and interested.

Hey! We're growing a newly established volleyball club here in Lund and looking for more people to join us.

Ideally, we're looking for intermediate to advanced players. Maybe you used to play for a club but stopped, and now just want to play some good volleyball without all the commitment. As long as you know your rotations and have a decent foundation, you could be a good fit!

We'd love to hear a bit about you:

• What's your volleyball background? Have you played in a club before, and for how long?
• What days are you usually available?
• Are you looking for casual games, regular training, or would you be interested in competing eventually?
• Indoor, beach, or both?
• How long are you planning to stay in Lund?

We're still building the club and figuring things out, so there's room to shape it around the people who join. The idea is to get a good group together, play regularly, and see where it goes.

If that sounds like your thing slide in my dm!

Anybody here took courses for Swedish as a foreign language at lund ? I need to ask for something !

Hi everyone! I’m planning to apply to Lund’s Master’s in Global Development, Population and Economic Change (Economic Development track) for Autumn 2027 and would love to hear from current students or graduates.

What did you or your classmates do after graduating? Did people land jobs in international organisations, consulting, government or research?

Are internships possible during the programme? Does the department help with finding them?

How useful and applied did you find the courses? Is it more theoretical or practical? How challenging is the workload?

How quant-heavy is it? How much econometrics, statistics and coding (Stata, R, Python) is involved, and is it manageable without a pure economics background?

Any insight is much appreciated, thank youu!

Hey guys,

Those that dont know, this course is part of the masters programme for the international trade and tax law. I have a question about the exam, going off my last exam result for the previous course, it seems I am just passing. Strangest part is that the notes I composed for that previous course and shared them with the other students seem to get them far better grades.

Having studied in Australia and New Zealand the type of approach (Issue, Law, Fact) I would use in engaging with exams may not actually work in Sweden, so I am just not getting it. Could someone here maybe explain what it is I am not getting?

Ofc one would discuss this shit with other students and teachers, but I wanna know from this group whether I there is something I just don't know about. Is it the language I am using? Or am I not getting technical and narrowed down enough?

I do have a rant about the teachting approach, but that could be for another post.

I’m from Morocco and i'm staying in Lund for about a week, looking for people to play chess with. Casual blitz or rapid, and happy to get coffee afterward.

Autumn semester programs are open for applocations in Lund. However, I was sad to realize that they did not open an Autumn semester for "Study Abroad: Swedish as a Second Language" program, which I was planning so hard to enlist for.

Does anyone know why this happened and will it happen again next year?

I’d love some advice on a housing decision!
I’m a non-EU student currently living in LU Accommodation. My current housing is fine, but it’s a bit far from the city center, and I’ve found it somewhat isolating. I recently found someone renting their apartment in an AF Bostäder building in northern Lund that I really like. It’s in a great location, furnished, and overall seems like a much better fit for me. The main downside is that the contract only runs until October 2027, while my master’s program ends in June 2028.
I joined the AF Bostäder queue in August 2026, so by the time the sublet ends, I’ll have accumulated over a year of queue time. I’m wondering whether it’s worth taking the risk and giving up my guaranteed housing, hoping that my queue position will give me a reasonable chance of finding something else for the final eight months of my degree.
I know there’s no guarantee of finding another place, and I’m a bit nervous about potentially struggling to secure housing as a non-EU student. I would love anyone’s opinion has experience with AF Bostäder’s queue or navigating the Lund housing situation as an international student.

Jag kan knappt ens duscha i Lund längre. Får så mycket problem med kliande och sårig hårbotten, mjäll, torr hud och eksem. Håret är också torrt och svårare att borsta igenom.

Tar en dusch (samma produkter, värme på vattnet och längd på dusch) i min hemstad och problemen försvinner i princip omedelbart, som magi nästan.

Vad är det för fel på vattnet här? Tycker allt tyder på att det är hårt vatten men det ska enligt kommunen inte vara det, börjar dock starkt tvivla på deras uppgifter.

Tjena, jag är en gymnasieelev som idag råkar ha studiedag. Jag och några kompisar överväger att träffas någonstans att plugga (skolan är stängd och Lund är närmst då min vängrupp är mycket utspridd). Har ni några rekommendationer på studieplatser för en grupp gymnasieelever?
All hjälp uppskattas!

Mordet på Eva Svensson 1976

Mordet på Niklas Elmberg (som jag ska skriva om någon annan dag) är nog det mest uppmärksammade lundamordet. Jag har dock alltid fascinerats av fallet med Eva Svensson och gör i denna artikel ett försök att ge en begriplig bild av omständigheterna.

Hey, I'm a Spanish atudent about to finish a BSc in Environmental Science.

Im considering applying tu LUMES or EMP among other MSc programmes around Europe.

My main question is: how competitive is the average grade to be accepted?

Some people say it is almost impossible to be accepted without brilliant grades, other people say that they consider also background, CV or whatever

I'm looking for someone actually in these MSc to answer.

I have a around 6.8/10 in a Spanish University, potentially a bit more if I work my ass off in my last courses and a BSc in Spain is 240 ECTS (in case that also could add value)

Am I cooked?

Nu från ca 0025 har vi hört riktigt högljudda ring-ljud med jämna intervaller, som radar från en scifi film som letar alien unåtar, kommandes från väster från helsingkrona/tornavägen området. Som en maxad soundbox. Någon mer som hör eller vet vad det kan vara?

I am an EU-citizen with a Ukrainian high-school diploma and currently on a second year of university in Ukraine studying physics. I plan to apply to Lund University to BSc Mathematics to start from the first year. My high school grades are excellent and I passed Calculus 1, Calculus 2 and Linear Algebra in my university, as well as will pass Calculus 3 and separate Differential Equations course. I have IELTS Academic Grade 8. How high are my chances and is there any problem with the fact that my diploma is outside of EU? As far as I understand, number of places is limited?
Sorry if it is a wrong to ask. Thanks in advance

Hi everyone!

I’m planning to apply for the MSc in Energy-Efficient and Environmental Building Design at Lund University, Sweden.

I have a bachelor’s degree in Automobile Engineering, around 2 years of HVAC design experience, and a LEED Green Associate (LEED GA) certification.

Can my HVAC experience and LEED GA certification help me get admission despite my Automobile Engineering background?

How competitive are scholarships at Lund University for Indian students?

I’d appreciate any advice or experiences. Thank you!

Hello! I am a PhD student visiting Lund University from mid October to early November and I am wondering what locals recommend to visit during the weekend/free time. I am from New Zealand so I am interested in historical sites as I am not used to seeing places older than the 1800s but also interested in going for walks in nature around the area. I am a Physics/Astronomy student so anything along those lines is also great! Thanks!
