MDU has campuses in Eskilstuna and Västerås. Around 17 000 students study courses and programmes in Design and Communication, Economics, Healthcare, Education, Engineering, Chamber Music and Opera. At MDU research is carried out in many disciplinary domains to solve problems in society, whereby research in Future Energy and Embedded Systems is internationally prominent. MDU enjoys a close collaboration with the private and public sectors, which contributes towards the better health of people and a more sustainable planet. The University is located on both sides of Lake Mälaren, with campuses in Eskilstuna and Västerås. At MDU research is conducted in six research specialisations that promote knowledge and development, for Swedish industry and peoples’ welfare, but also for solving the many challenges facing society. MDU is one of Sweden’s foremost HEIs in terms of collaboration, which is a natural part of the University’s DNA. The University was established in 1977 as a result of collaboration with industry. This approach has been developed over the years, and today the University has several strategic collaboration agreements and projects in place with both the private and public sectors. Collaboration is an integral part of our education and research at MDU.
