Skåne - tradition meets innovation

Skåne is the part of Sweden most closely connected to the rest of Europe. Located a short train ride from the largest airport in Scandinavia, Skåne offers work and study opportunities in several areas from farming and gardening to biotech and cutting edge information technology.

Skåne (Scania) is a landscape of contrasts, which offers great diversity within easy travelling distance. The countryside is varied – from the wide open plains, rolling fields of rapeseed, and 400 km of coast lined with white sandy beaches, to the deep forests of the north east and the steep cliff faces of the north west. It is only a short journey from peaceful countryside and picturesque fishing villages to the vibrant cities of the region: Malmö in the southwest with its cosmopolitan atmosphere, Helsingborg in the northwest and Kristianstad in the northeast.
