Uppsala University was established in 1477 by the initiative of Archbishop Jakob Ulvsson of Uppsala. It was Scandinavia's first university and began with only a few professors and around 50 students. The university was shut down in the 16th century's early decades due to the political unrest during the rule of Gustav I Vasa, Sweden's new monarch.
Towards the 16th century's end, the Protestant clergy had acquired a concrete hold over religious education. The Church council in Uppsala decided to restore the university's privileges in 1593 and the new charter was signed on March 15, 1595. The university has been providing high-quality education in various fields for five centuries.
Uppsala University has many campus buildings across Uppsala and a campus in Visby, Gotland, which offers education in law, humanities, science and technology, languages, social sciences, educational science, and theology. Blasenhus offers education and research facilities in pedagogy, educational studies, didactics, and psychology. It also houses the Blasenhus Library, Uppsala Child and Baby Lab, and the Experimental Classroom.
Uppsala Biomedical Centre (BMC) is listed amongst the largest life sciences centers in Europe and provides education and research facilities in chemistry, pharmacy, medicine, biology, and dietetics. Evolutionary Biology Centre (EBC) offers education in evolutionary processes and biology and offers facilities for research in physiology, environmental toxicology, and developmental biology. It is also home to the Museum of Evolution with zoology, paleontology, and botany.
Uppsala University offers 144 study programs at Bachelor’s and Master’s levels, as well as 1,922 freestanding courses in various fields like theology, arts, law, social sciences, languages, pharmacy, medicine, mathematics, sciences and computer science. Housing over 40,000 students and around 5,000 teachers and researchers, the university consists of nearly 50 academic departments. It maintains collaborations with more than 400 universities around the world to facilitate excellent student-exchange programs. The institution also presents students with outstanding career prospects and employment opportunities by building partnerships with various good employers.
