International recruitment and exchange possibilities for staff abroad

International cooperation, a profound ability to attract researchers and students from abroad and internationally competitive education; this is what internationalisation means to us. We are convinced that it is a key factor to success at Linköping University.

An international campus

The staff at Linköping University come from a multitude of backgrounds. The possibility for university staff to gain international experience and different perspectives is a most important factor for the university to function in the best possible way and to maintain high quality. The international experiences and perspectives that the teachers bring into their teaching and presence of international students in the classroom enhances our education, the university a dynamic workplace and bring an intercultural character to our campuses. We advertise all academic recruitment in the framework of international competition.

An international environment in a research group is an important factor of successful research and science. The international nature strengthens competitiveness and the ability to attract staff, resources and students. Linköping University boasts a vigorous international research environment that leads to excellent results, fully able to compete with the best in the world.
