Kalmar The Department of Biology and Environmental Science in Kalmar has special competence in the area of life, health and the environment. The School offers Master’s programmes. Växjö The campus is located just outside Växjö city center. It was designed in the American campus style, meaning that all teaching premises are within walking distance. The campus borders a nature conservation area. There are 3,700 student apartments and dorm rooms on the university campus housing approximately 4,600-5,200 students. A part of the university campus is dedicated to the Videum Science Park. The park gives space to over 100 companies, thus being close to the university it encourages innovation and research.
