The university in Lund, Sweden, was founded in 1666, although there were anterior academic institutions, a studium generale, the mediaeval Latin term for a university, was established in 1483 within the Franciscan friary, and prior to this in 1085, a school for the training of priests was set up. Today the university has over 34000 persons studying the 50 programmes or 800 separate courses.
