Stockholm University, or Stockholms universitet, is a state university in Stockholm, Sweden. It has about 37,000 students studying at four faculties.

History

---

In 1878, the university college Stockholm högskola started its operations with a series of lectures on natural sciences, open to curious citizens (a tradition still upheld by yearly publicly open lectures). Notable in the university's early history is the appointment of Sofia Kovalevskaya to hold a chair in mathematics in 1881, making her the third female professor in Europe. In 1904 the college became an official degree granting institution.

In 1960, it was granted university status, becoming Sweden's fourth state university. The university premises was situated in central Stockholm at Observatorielunden but as enrollment increased, lack of space made it necessary to move. Since 1970 most of the university operations are pursued at the main campus at Frescati north of the city center.

yet again in the university library.. the thesis writing feels somehow easier than before. Is the Stockholm air the villain of the piece?
