The University received applications from 180 countries and most applicants were from Bangladesh, Egypt and the United Kingdom. Of the top ten most popular degree programmes in Sweden, nine belong to Lund University this year.
The top three consists of the two-year Master Programme in Public Health (1642 applicants), the one-year Master Programme in International Marketing and Brand Management (1547) and the two-year Master Programme in International Development and Management (1466).
The programme director for the Public Health programme at Lund University, Martin Stafström, was positively surprised when he saw the results. He believes there are many reasons for the success.
– We are good at marketing [the programme] and using the web. We also dedicate a lot of resources to contact and dialogue with those who get in touch with us that are interested in applying, says Martin Stafström.
