大学简介
瑞典农业科学大学位于瑞典乌普萨拉南郊 Ultuna 校园，是一所以生命科学与环境科学见长的公立研究型大学，与瑞典企业与创新部（原农业部）保持直接拨款关系，下辖 4 个学院、30 个系及 4 处主要校园。校训为「Science and Education for Sustainable Life」（科学和教育服务可持续生活），核心使命是依托科研、教育与环境监测，推动生物经济、可持续林业、动物健康与食品安全领域发展。
历史沿革
瑞典农业科学大学（Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet，简称 SLU）成立于 1977 年，由农业、林业和兽医三所独立学院合并而成，并吸纳了 Skara 兽医学校与 Skinnskatteberg 林业学校。前身的历史可追溯到 1775 年成立的 Skara 兽医学校（Peter Hernqvist 主持，他是林奈的学生、瑞典兽医学的奠基人），以及 1813 年成立的瑞典皇家农业与林业学院、1828 年成立的斯德哥尔摩林业学院、1848 年由 Robert von Kraemer 与 Johan Arrhenius 发起的 Ultuna 农业研究所、1862 年接纳首批农业学生的 Alnarp 城堡。合并的灵感来自美国的大型农业院校模式，兽医学院和林业学院于同期从斯德哥尔摩迁至 Ultuna。
校园与学院
大学总部设于乌普萨拉南郊的 Ultuna 校区，校园分布于瑞典全境 4 处：南部的 Alnarp（聚焦景观建筑、园艺学与南部农业林业）、中部的 Ultuna（自然资源农业与兽医动物科学）、北部的 Umeå（林业科学为主，与 Umeå 大学共享校区并设北欧最大健身中心 IKSU）、西南部的 Skara（动物福利与精准农业研究）以及 Skinnskatteberg 森林管理学院。大学下设 4 个学院共 30 个系：景观规划园艺与农业生产科学学院、自然资源与农业科学学院、兽医与动物科学学院、林业科学学院。乌普萨拉校园内设有瑞典唯一的高校动物医院 UDS 及瑞典牲畜研究中心，欧洲最现代化的牲畜教学研究设施之一。
学术排名与影响力
SLU 在多个全球学科排名中位列前列。QS 2026 年农业与林业学科排名世界第 3、兽医学第 23；上海排名 GRAS 2025 农业科学第 8、生态学第 24、兽医学第 35；ARWU 2026 总排名 401-500；THE 2026 世界大学排名 351-400；CWTS Leiden Ranking 2024 在 P top 10% 指标上位列瑞典第 5。SLU 同时是 2001 年成立的欧洲生命科学大学联盟（ELLS）的创始成员，并获 ISO 14001 环境管理体系认证。截至 2026 年，大学共有 4575 名学生，其中本科生 2570、研究生 1280、博士生 528，雇员约 3155 人（含 191 名教授），教学语言 40% 以上为英语，硕士项目 60% 的学生来自瑞典境外。
公共服务与数据库
SLU 受瑞典企业与创新部（原农业部）直接拨款，承担三项国家级公共服务职能。其一是瑞典国家森林清查（NFI，Riksskogstaxeringen），每年通过 PX-web 发布 JO0801 至 JO0806 等系列官方森林统计表；其二是 SKUD（瑞典植物数据库），由 SLU 牵头维护，是植物科学、园艺学和土壤名称的国家级整合与参考工具；其三是 Tradportalen（树木门户），由瑞典环境保护局委托 Art Data Bank 运营，自 2008 年 11 月起对所有人免费开放，汇集全国县议会与个人提交的新树木与已注册树木信息。三项数据库为政策制定者、研究者和公众提供开放的数据支持，体现 SLU 在数据公开与环境监测领域的长期承诺。
Introduction
The Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences (SLU), based at the Ultuna campus in southern Uppsala, is a public research university specialised in life and environmental sciences. Funded directly through Sweden’s Ministry of Enterprise and Innovation (previously the Ministry for Rural Affairs), it operates 4 faculties, 30 departments and four main campuses. Its motto, “Science and Education for Sustainable Life”, reflects the university’s core mission to advance the bioeconomy, sustainable forestry, animal health and food security through research, education and environmental monitoring.
History
The Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences (Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet, SLU) was founded in 1977 through the merger of three existing colleges of agriculture, forestry and veterinary medicine, together with the Veterinary School at Skara and the Forestry School at Skinnskatteberg. Its roots reach back to the 1775 Veterinary School in Skara, led by Peter Hernqvist, a student of Carl Linnaeus and the father of Swedish veterinary medicine. The Royal Swedish Academy of Agriculture and Forestry was founded in 1813, the Forest Institute in Stockholm in 1828, the Ultuna Agricultural Institute in 1848 (initiated by Robert von Kraemer and Johan Arrhenius) and the Alnarp castle began receiving its first agricultural students in 1862. Drawing inspiration from the large agricultural colleges of the United States, the university relocated the veterinary and forestry colleges from Stockholm to Ultuna.
Campuses and Faculties
SLU’s main operations are spread across four Swedish locations. The Ultuna campus in southern Uppsala serves as headquarters and hosts the university management, the University Animal Hospital (UDS, Sweden’s only university veterinary hospital), the Swedish Livestock Research Centre (one of Europe’s most modern facilities for livestock teaching and research) and the SLU Knowledge Garden. Alnarp, west of Lund and close to Malmö and Copenhagen, focuses on landscape architecture, horticulture and southern Swedish agriculture. Umeå shares its campus with Umeå University and houses most of the Faculty of Forest Sciences. Skara specialises in animal husbandry, animal welfare and precision agriculture. The university organises 30 departments into four faculties: Landscape Planning, Horticulture and Agricultural Sciences; Natural Resources and Agriculture Sciences; Veterinary Medicine and Animal Science; and Forest Sciences.
Rankings and Influence
SLU consistently ranks among the world’s leading institutions in its core subjects. In the QS World University Rankings by Subject 2026 it places 3rd in Agriculture and Forestry and 23rd in Veterinary Science. The Shanghai Ranking GRAS 2025 places SLU 8th in Agricultural Sciences, 24th in Ecology and 35th in Veterinary Sciences. The university is placed 401-500 in the ARWU 2026 overall ranking and 351-400 in the Times Higher Education World University Rankings 2026. The CWTS Leiden Ranking 2024 ranks SLU 5th among Swedish universities by P top 10% indicator. SLU was a founding member of the Euroleague for Life Sciences (ELLS) in 2001 and is certified to the ISO 14001 environmental management standard. As of 2026, the university has 4,575 students (2,570 undergraduates, 1,280 postgraduates, 528 doctoral candidates) and around 3,155 staff including 191 professors.
Public Services and Databases
SLU delivers three national public services that extend far beyond its own campus. The Swedish National Forest Inventory (NFI, Riksskogstaxeringen) produces the country’s official forest statistics, published annually as JO0801-JO0806 series through the PX-web portal and summarised in Skogsdata. SKUD is the Swedish national reference database for plant names, covering scientific, horticultural and vernacular names together with distribution, use and life-form information. Tradportalen (the Tree Portal), developed and operated for the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency by Art Data Bank since November 2008, gathers county-level tree inventories and individual submissions of newly planted and registered trees. Together with SLU’s broader open environmental monitoring data, these three services make SLU a long-standing hub of public environmental knowledge for Sweden and the wider European research community.
