Campus Flemingsberg: Where 24,000 Students Meet

Thanks to the rapid progress of academic development, Campus Flemingsberg now hosts more than 24,000 students. Campus Flemingsberg consists of five different universities and colleges, a high school, and an art school, providing students with the latest knowledge.

What could be driving the growing number of students?

“The number of applicants to Södertörn University increased by more than 15 percent for the autumn semester of 2024, and we know that we offer many programs that attract prospective students.” – Solina Lujinovic Magnusson, Communications Officer at Södertörn University.

But it’s not just new courses and programs that draw people into academic life. Flemingsberg’s city center is expanding at a rapid pace, and new housing developments make it possible for students from other parts of the country to study in the area. On October 8, 2024, ByggVesta and EQT Exeter began the construction of 800 researcher and student apartments, with Campus Flemingsberg as the closest neighbor.

“Flemingsberg should be the place where knowledge and creativity meet.” – Emil Högberg, Municipal Commissioner, Huddinge Municipality.

A special thanks to Pernilla Boström, who has worked hard to gather and map out the number of students in Flemingsberg.
