University of Gothenburg - Exchange Programme

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 is highly ranked in many prestigious league tables and is in some fields among the best universities in the world. However, to measure the quality of a university is difficult and the methods are often criticised. We always advice international students, researchers and employees to do extensive research and not to look only at ranking positions when deciding on which universities to apply to.
