Student life

Mälardalen Student Union (MDS) is the official Student Union at MDU and is active at both campus locations. There are also student associations that you can join that will enrich your student life.

As a student at MDU, you can be active in many different ways.

You can work as a student ambassador, get valuable experience, and make new contacts.

As a student, you can take a job to mentor another student at the University. This means you can help them plan their study and the study setup. Working as a mentor is a great way for your own personal development and a qualification in your future working life.

Would you like to help out during The Welcoming, the coolest start to the autumn semester? Be a Welcomer! We are looking for volunteers for the 25 August who can help create a great event for everyone involved.

Our main campuses are located centrally in the cities of Eskilstuna and Västerås. Here you can find maps and other information.

Students and employees at MDU travel free of charge on the buses between the Eskilstuna and Västerås campuses. This applies from Mondays to Fridays, on ordinary working days, during the autumn and spring semesters. The MDU card is used as a travel pass.

In order for MDU's organisation to be as good as possible, it is important that you as a student tell us what you think. There are several different ways to be involved and influence your study environment at the University.

Through the Aj, Oj, Halloj system you can report injuries, and accidents or give suggestions for improvement in your study and work environment at MDU.

Our Code of Conduct applies to the campus so that everyone can feel secure and safe. Many rules are self-evident, such as no littering or disturbing others.

But there are other rules that are important to be aware of. If you violate these rules you may end up at the Disciplinary Board.

For instance, you are not allowed to:

  • Allow a third party into the campus during certain times or on premises that require permission.
  • Go on scooters, longboards, skateboards, inline skates or similar.
  • Drink alcoholic drinks or smoke tobacco, e-cigarettes (vapes) or the equivalent.
  • Bring pets with you unless they are a guide or assistance dog.
  • Sleep overnight or use the University’s premises for private purposes.
  • Take photos, film or record audio during lectures, seminars, or other forms of instruction or examinations unless you have received permission to do so.

Please note that children are usually not permitted entry to MDU’s teaching and examination premises.

Starting to study often means a change in your finances. Maybe you are moving away from home and have to stand on your own two feet for the first time with your own money.

There are certain scholarships that are specifically addressed to MDU students.

Do you want to live in your own place? In a dormitory? Prefer communal living? Remember to allow yourself plenty of time to find accommodation.

Jobs and future

A total of 86 per cent of MDU's students get a job in the area they have studied a year after graduation. If during your studies you discover what you want to work with, your chances of getting your dream job will increase.
