UU campus
The campus of the educational institution is located in Uppsala. This opens up all the delights of life in a big city for students: a rich infrastructure, a large selection of entertainment, convenient transport, as well as more opportunities for internships or part-time jobs. However, for some students, such an abundance of opportunities can be distracting.
The university students have access to the library. It is an integral part of learning. Students come here for educational literature or to do their homework. The educational institution has a developed athletic infrastructure. Students can practice on sports grounds, as well as in one of the clubs. The exchange of intercultural experience occupies a special place in training at UU. The educational institution regularly invites foreign students to participate in exchange programs and organizes various joint events.
