Lund University is the best university in Sweden, according to the latest version of the QS World University Rankings®.

The university has fallen five places globally since last year’s ranking and is now the joint 78th best university in the world, but it remains the best in the country despite this.

Of the six ranking indicators used to assess universities, Lund University scored particularly highly for its reputation among academics, for which it is ranked 81st in the world.

This good ranking follows the strong performance of the university in the QS World University Rankings by Subject 2017, where it is ranked in the top 50 in the world for development studies, environmental sciences, geography and nursing.

This year’s World University Ranking features over 950 universities from 84 different countries. To read more about how it’s compiled, click here, or click here to see this year’s rankings in full.
