About Uppsala University
Uppsala University was founded in 1477 under a papal bull from Pope Sixtus IV. King Gustavus Adolphus expanded it in the 1620s, endowing new chairs and building the Gustavianum. Women gained access to most degrees in 1873, and Betty Pettersson became the first woman in Sweden to earn a degree there in 1875.
