Rector's address

It is a pleasure to welcome you to Karlstad University, a young university in a dynamic phase of development. We want you to experience a very good education, friendly fellow-students, inspiring teachers, and a stimulating environment in the library, lecture halls, labs and group rooms.

A study period in Karlstad will give many opportunities for personal challenge and growth. You will acquire new knowledge, new perspectives and make friends for life.

You will also be an important person on campus. You will bring your experience to us and our students and help make our campus a meeting-place for different experiences, languages, and cultures.

We also welcome you to experience a student-friendly city and an attractive region, which support students in many ways, not least in finding accommodation. But above all, you will find that Karlstad and the Värmland region have a lot to offer: beautiful nature, sports facilities and events, and a rich culture of art, music, and literature. It is also a comparatively safe part of the world to live in.
