Student Life
While studying at Mälardalen University you will probably spend a lot of time at one of our campuses. The university’s study environments have been designed in cooperation with the students – and it shows.
Light, modern and airy are words that describe Mälardalen University’s premises well. But here there are also cozy courtyards and calm study rooms. All the university’s premises have in common that they are new or carefully renovated, with an atmosphere that is good for creative thoughts and study.
The university library is located both in Västerås and Eskilstuna. In addition to assigned reading, dissertations, electronic periodicals and books, there are quiet reading places for undisturbed study, but also group rooms for project assignments. On the campus in general, there are plenty of study places and computer rooms.
The Eskilstuna Campus
The campus in Eskilstuna is situated at five minutes’ walk from the central station, and, if possible, even closer to the city center with its large choice of restaurants, cafés and nightlife. This means that you never have to feel isolated at the university; you only have to step into the pedestrian street outside.
The campus consists of three blocks in the middle of the city center. A large part of the university is located in former industrial properties that have been renovated to top modern standard. By preserving the robust industrial brick-and-steel architecture, the old-time charm has been kept while the buildings feel modern and fresh at the same time. Surrounded by cobblestone streets, there is now a lunch restaurant, the university library, group rooms and lecture halls.
The Västerås Campus
The campus in Västerås is situated at just a 15-minute walk from the central station, in between the vibrant city life and possible leisure time activities. In one direction is the old town and the cathedral, and a stone’s throw away in the other direction is the Rocklunda sports centre, with several arenas and sports fields.
The first thing that meets your eyes when you come walking from the city centre is the big university library. The library with its impressive ceiling height (18 meters) and fantastic glass façade has become something of a symbol of the university in Västerås. The building has won architectural awards for its Japanese-inspired style and the natural wood-and-glass façade.
The university’s other facilities are bright and thoroughly renovated, and especially adapted to the activities at a university. This means that there are plenty of computer rooms, lecture halls and meeting places for the students.
On campus there is also a daycare centre, a lunch restaurant, a café and a student kitchenette where you can microwave your own food. However, during the summer students usually go out and sit on the large lawn in front of the university. Otherwise, the students’ natural meeting place is the students’ union building, just behind the university. There you can find both a restaurant and a café.
