Örebro University
Örebro University (Swedish: Örebro universitet) is a state university in Örebro, Sweden.
The university has its roots in the Örebro campus of Uppsala University, and became an independent state university college in 1977, Örebro University College (Högskolan i Örebro). The university college also incorporated three other existing educational institutions in Örebro: the teaching seminar, the sports college (founded in 1966) and the social work college (founded 1967). Örebro University College was granted the privileges of a university by the Government of Sweden in 1999, becoming the 12th university in Sweden.
On 30 March 2010 the university was granted the right to award medical degrees in collaboration with Örebro University Hospital, making it the 7th medical school in Sweden.[2]
The law programme at Örebro University is one of Sweden's most popular programmes (number 10 in 2018, with more than 4,800 applicants).[3][4]

Student Life[edit]
Student Union[edit]
The student union called "Örebro studentkår" shortened "ÖS" was created 1963 and represents all students at Örebro University. The union pursues issues relating to education and student welfare to ensure that all the university's students receive a good and well-rounded education as well as a safe and secure study environment.[13]
Örebro Student Union collaborates and is in constant contact with the university and the municipality to speak on behalf of students in the decisions that affect them. Among other things, the Student Union has student representatives in the Faculty Boards – which are part of the university's central management.
Örebro Student Union is a democratic, non-political organisation which is ruled by the students themselves as a whole, but to make things easier there are different departments that run the actual work in the student union, the most important ones being the student council and the student union board.
