Uppsala University (Swedish Uppsala universitet) is a public university in Uppsala, Sweden. It is the oldest university in Scandinavia, founded in 1477. After a turbulent period following the reformation, the university rose to some significance with the rise of Sweden as a Great Power and a leading Lutheran state from the end of the 16th century and was given a relative financial stability with the large donation of King Gustavus Adolphus in the early 17th century.
The university has for centuries been an important place of science and learning, represented by names such as Linnaeus, Celsius, and Ångström, and in more recent times by several Nobel laureates in the sciences. In addition, Uppsala also has an important place in Swedish national culture and identity: in historiography, literature and music, represented by names such as Rudbeck, Geijer, Atterbom, and Strindberg. Many aspects of Swedish academic culture in general, such as the white student cap, originated in Uppsala. It shares some peculiarities, such as the student nation system, with Lund University (founded in 1666).
The university has nine faculties distributed over three so-called disciplinary domains. It has about 40,000 students studying on an undergraduate level or enrolled in professional programs, and about 2,400 doctoral students. It has a teaching staff of 3,800 out of a total of 6,000 employees. Of its annual turnover of around 4 billion SEK, approximately 60% goes to graduate studies and research. It belongs to the Coimbra Group of European universities.
