Linköping University

Linköping University is one of Sweden’s larger academic institutions. With our tradition of innovation and cooperation across boundaries we participate in building the society of tomorrow.

Understanding ourselves, each other and the world around us a little bit better each day. Looking for answers, but also for new questions to pose. Daring to argue, cross boundaries and find better ways of cooperation. That is expanding reality – the greatest mission of Linköping University.

LiU, as we often call it, is a multi-faculty university and one of the most important in Sweden. Since the start in the late 60’s, LiU has been an innovator, creating new degree programmes and new ways to tackle research problems. Innovation has become our tradition.

Furthermore, we have always had strong dialogue with the surrounding business sphere and the community at large, both in terms of research and education. What LiU creates should be of benefit to the public. Together we can build a better, more sustainable world.

The LiU campuses are situated in the twin cities Linköping and Norrköping in southern Sweden. The university is an important driving force for regional development. However, the mission is greater – Linköping University is a national and international player. World-class research is conducted within cutting-edge domains such as new materials, IT and disability research. Students come from all across the globe, with over 50 nationalities represented at LiU. Many LiU students study abroad for a semester or a year. The international perspective is essential when working to expand reality.

Together we move the boundaries for what is possible. Together we can be bolder, go further and reach higher.

Reinventing higher education. Being innovative and offering knowledge truly in demand has been the guiding-star of LiU ever since the start in the late 60's. We offer more professional education programmes than any other Swedish university. Students from Linköping University are among those who first obtain jobs and have the highest income average one year after graduation.
