The IT University of Göteborg

The IT University of Göteborg is a joint venture by Chalmers University of Technology and Göteborg University. The IT University was established in 2001 in collaboration with the Industry and the public sector.

The IT University is an international center for research and education with focus on applied IT. The IT University also serves as a meeting place and network for IT related activity based at Göteborg University and Chalmers University of Technology.

We offer educational programs on both Bachelor and Master level. Some programs have a clear technical orientation; others are adapted to specific purposes. Some are design oriented; others place an emphasis on management. All courses are aimed at providing students with the expertise that will make them attractive on the labor market.

Since 2001 the growth of the IT University has been rapid, increasing from 120 to 1500 students in five years. Some of our programs are international and attract students from all over the world.

The IT University is based at Lindholmen and is part of Lindholmen Science Park, the most dynamic development area in Göteborg with about 150 companies including for example Volvo, Ericsson, IBM, Semcon and Caran. Approximately 15000 people are active working, studying or teaching in this area.

In this lively setting we have created a modern working environment with wireless network and laptops making room for flexibility and creativity. Here we all work together: teachers, researchers and supervisors from the Industry
