University of Gothenburg

Vision and values

The University of Gothenburg is a multidisciplinary university that dates back to 1891. We consist of eight faculties and 38 departments. We also have a large number of research and centres of expertise that span across several academic disciplines. These disciplines serve as a meeting point for students, researchers and representatives from the commercial, industrial, and public sectors. 

Around 49 000 students and 6 000 staff study and work here, making us one of the largest universities in Northern Europe.

The University of Gothenburg meets societal challenges with a wide range of knowledge. Strong research and appealing study programmes attract scientists and students from around the world. We are environmentally certified and work actively for sustainable development. With new knowledge and new perspectives, our students and researchers contribute to a better future.

The aim of the University of Gothenburg’s quality work is to attain even greater success through its work. This success will be measured in terms of how operations develop and receive recognition, and how this allows the University to maintain its position in comparisons with other educational institutions, both nationally and internationally.
