CIEE Uppsala Arts & Sciences
Uppsala, with a population of 125,000, is Sweden’s fourth-largest city and lies approximately 70 km north of Stockholm. Combining the opportunities found in a large city with the intimacy of a small town, Uppsala is an attractive destination for students who want to learn firsthand about Swedish history and culture. The city traces its roots back to Viking times and has been considered the religious center of Sweden since the establishment of a Christian archdiocese in the 12th century. Uppsala is known for its connection to the Nobel Prize and has become the home to various leading companies in the field of biotechnology.
