University of Gothenburg
A Wonderful Mixture, from Educational Breadth
to the Nobel Prize
The University of Gothenburg is characterised by variation and breadth. You can study practically anything here, from art and design to natural science and medicine. As a matter of interest, one of the professors at the University, Arvid Carlsson, was awarded the Nobel Prize for medicine a number of years ago. Sweden is among the most modern and most computerised countries in the world. These qualities are also characteristic of the academic environments at the University of Gothenburg.
When you decide to study at the University of Gothenburg you will come to Sweden’s second largest city with a population of half a million inhabitants. The University is everywhere you go in central Gothenburg. This means that most parts of the University are within walking or cycling distance of each other, which is why there are masses of cafés and restaurants jostling each other along the main student routes.
Welcome to the most all-round university in Sweden, and also – not least – the one that is most popular with students!
