Notes
Malmo is a short 20-minute train ride to Lund and 40 minutes to Copenhagen. Though it is Sweden’s 3rd largest city, it still feels quite small with just over 300,000 residents. It is a former industrial city but when that became less lucrative, the city sought ways to revitalize and started Malmo University in 1998. The city is known for innovation and is 4th on the Forbes list of most inventive cities. Malmo is a young city, with half of the population under the age of 35, and is also known for its diversity. The young and diverse population creates a nightlife scene that appeals to students. It also presents a lot of dining options that are within student budgets. Malmo is actually known for its abundance of fantastic falafel. Having had the best falafel of my life during this visit, I can personally attest to that claim! Other than the fact that the buildings are quite new and modern, I never would have guessed that Malmo University is such a young school. The size of the school and educational structure is extremely impressive. I was especially impressed by the timely focus of some of the programs. In addition to an International Relations program, they also offer a program about Human Rights, one about International Migration and Ethnic Relations, and another on Peace and Conflict Studies. The school’s main buildings are all very close together and there is one building where most bachelor's programs are held. There is a lounge on every floor and canteens in each of the buildings. The school is on the more industrial side of the town, not the prettiest side other than the school buildings. However, the buildings are only a 10 minute walk from the central station,10 minutes from the more picturesque part of the old city, and a 20 minute walk from the famed Ribersborg beach.
