Kristianstad University College

Kristianstad University is an international, progressive and open-minded university. We keep a close relationship between teaching staff and students and integrate studies with a large proportion of practical work.

Kristianstad University welcomes students from diverse backgrounds; domestic students from all around Sweden as well as international students from all over the world. There are two categories of international students: non-exchange students and exchange students.

Kristianstad University (HKR) is a small but at the same time large university in southern Sweden. The university is gathered on one campus situated just 10 minutes from the town centre of Kristianstad.

Kristianstad University was founded in 1977, but we can trace our roots back to 1835 and the start of the teacher's training. We are proud of our 14,000 students and the diversity they represent. Our keywords are openness, curiosity and respect.

Each year Kristianstad University offers a number of scholarships to qualified students from outside the EU/EEA and Switzerland.

The scholarship will be awarded to citizens of a country outside the EU/EEA with the requirement of paying tuition fee for studies at Kristianstad University. If granted a scholarship, it will include a full or partial reduction of the tuition fee.

The University is a public authority whose activities are governed by a number of laws and ordinances, such as the Higher Education Act and the Higher Education Ordinance. In addition to these laws, there are also local rules and regulations that apply to Kristianstad University.

Kristianstad University uses both itslearning and email to communicate with the students.
