Kalmar – the student city by the sea

Right in the heart of Kalmar, by the sea, you’ll find Campus Kalmar. Everything is close by, and no matter where you live in the city, you’ll be within cycling distance of the university.

If you’re a new student, you’re covered by an accommodation guarantee, meaning you have the right to student housing within two months. This is one of the reasons why Kalmar has been recognised as one of Sweden’s best student cities – several times.

The municipality has around 70,000 inhabitants. The city boasts a strong business sector, with leading companies in green industries, e-commerce, and e-health, providing plenty of opportunities to make connections for your future career.

Kalmar has a charming and historic city centre, with small shops, cafés, and gyms nestled along cobbled streets and alleyways. The coastline offers great opportunities to enjoy nature – whether you want to go for a walk, exercise, swim, or simply relax. Plus – Öland is just a bridge away.
