Increasing numbers apply to study at LU

Application statistics have come in and the number of applications to Lund University continues to rise. Applications for the autumn semester have risen by 12 per cent from 58 251 last year to 65 258 this year. The number of applicants who put Lund University as their first choice has also increased by 14 per cent on last year. This year, 29 518 people applied to Lund as their first choice compared with 25 842 last year. This puts Lund University in third place for number of applicants, both in total and for first choice applications. The University of Gothenburg received the most applications, followed by Stockholm. We are pleased at the increase in the number of applicants to Lund University and that there is high demand for our programmes and courses. The funding cap needs to be raised and we have requested an increase of almost 2 000 full-time equivalent students.
