Service
Counselling
Book an individual session with one of our counsellors. The topic you want to talk about does not have to relate to your studies. The conversation lasts about 45 minutes, after which you can decide whether you want to book a return visit. You will need to show your ID at your first visit.
Health advice
Our nurses can provide you with advice, support and guidance on different health issues. We offer health talk appointments, during which you can talk about your health and life situation. The aim is to promote your health during your studies and in the future. You can also talk about sexual health.
Sustainable lifestyles and STD testing
Sustainable lifestyles
Our lifestyles affect our physical and mental wellbeing, as well as our ability to perform and achieve our study goals. You choose what you want to focus on. This could include eating, sleeping and drinking habits, but also physical activity, non-smoking and ergonomics. Make an appointment with a nurse.
STD testing and sexual health
At the Student Health Centre, you can get tested for chlamydia, gonorrhoea, syphilis and HIV. If you have had unprotected sex and think you may have been exposed to infection, testing is an easy way to find out. You can also make an appointment to talk about sexual health. This can include questions about desire, sex, sexuality and relationships.
Contact us via email
You can email us at studenthalsan@mau.se regarding general questions about our support, or if you have problems logging in. Never include confidential information in your email. You cannot make an appointment by emailing us.

Courses and groups
The friendly running group
Welcome to the friendly running group!
Mondays in Pildammsparken at 17:15, starting on the 4th of September. Meeting point at Teaterlekplatsen.
Welcome to Malmö University’s running group! All runners are welcome, and you don’t have to be an experienced runner to join. Walking is also fine; we will split up the group on site in case some people prefer to walk. All occasions are planned in a way to make it possible for all to participate according to personal level and preconditions. Our ambition is that all participants should feel happy and inspired afterwards.
We will adjust the basic speed to the group when we are running. It is always OK to walk for a while if you want to. Those who are running in the front, or the leader, will do regular loops to pick up the runners who prefer a slower pace. All exercises can also be adapted to individual capability.
No need to register in advance, but we would love to know if you are interested to join
There is no need to register in advance, and it is also fine to leave earlier if you want to. Furthermore, you don’t need to sign up for the whole semester. You can come and go as you like.
But we would love to receive your notice of interest in this form, mainly to give us an idea of how many people we can expect.
Always on Mondays at 17:15, always in Pildammsparken
All occasions will be on Mondays at 17:15 in Pildammsparken. We will meet at Teaterlekplatsen, in the crossing Carl Gustafs väg-Baltiska vägen. We, the leaders of the running group, will be there a few minutes before we start. We will end at the same place as well. Each occasion will last ca 50-60 minutes.
The running group will be active from the 4th of September until the 20th of November.
This is the normal structure of an occasion with the running group
The basic structure will be similar every time we meet:
- A few exercises to warm up and activate the running muscles
- Light running (or walk)
- Running technique, such as foot placement, posture, and strides
- More running
- Exercise to raise the pulse, where all can participate according to individual capacity
- Slow jogging
- Stretching, thank you and goodbye
Why is movement important?
Movement is beneficial for body and soul for many reasons: it improves the memory, we learn easier, and it makes us happier and less sensitive for stress.
Contact
The leaders of the running group are Lena Örnberg, coordinator for equal opportunities and My Wikström, nurse. Please contact Lena Örnberg if you have any questions, lena.ornberg@mau.se, or fill in the form.
