Faculty of Science and Engineering (Institute of Technology) (LITH)

With some 12,000 students, more than 1,000 employees and a budget exceeding SEK 1 billion, the Faculty of Science and Engineering is one of Sweden’s largest engineering education institutions. We are a fully integrated part of Linköping University.

Tomorrow’s engineers and scientists must be equipped with great problem-solving skills and be able to grasp the consequences of technological solutions. The Faculty of Science and Engineering at Linköping University is one of Sweden’s leading engineering and science faculties, with an international reputation for high-quality and border-crossing education.

Linköping University (LiU) emphasises problem-solving skills and encourages individual students to actively pursue knowledge and an understanding of technological consequences.

In nationwide polls among university graduates, the Faculty of Science and Engineering is constantly ranked as one of the best in Sweden with regard to educational quality, student social life and preparation for the job market. In independent surveys, LiU graduates say that their time with us prepared them well for the realities of professional life and helped them qualify for top-level jobs.
