Campus Skellefteå
Study, collaborate and innovate in Skellefteå – a growing campus in the north of Sweden.
The dynamic melting pot we call Campus Skellefteå is a place dedicated to the future. Vibrant student life pairs with some of Sweden's highest-ranked educational programmes. Established universities, vocational programmes and the business sector are all represented here.
Extraordinary or quite ordinary
Most people who apply to Campus Skellefteå have a passion they want to express, realise, even experience. It may be something extraordinary, but it may also be quite ordinary. Like being the best in the world in PC game design or making a career change from shop attendant to nurse, without having to relocate, or recruiting people who work for global welfare. As a venue for all these strong wills, our task is to make sure that all the peripheral elements fall into place.
