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

With a body of more than 9,000 students, a faculty with more than 1,000 employees and a budget exceeding one billion SEK, 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.

The latest about research and education at the Faculty of Science and Engineering

Research into energy conservation in the aluminium industry

Two company-based factors – support from management and owners, and a long-term energy strategy – are high on the wishlist of the aluminium industry, as it moves to reduce energy consumption. LiU researchers have investigated barriers and drivers.

A new sensor for light, heat and touch

Inspired by the behaviour of natural skin, researchers at the Laboratory of Organic Electronics have developed a sensor for use with electronic skin. It can measure changes in body temperature, and react to both sunlight and warm touch.

Research to aid smart urban energy planning

Researchers at LiU are to develop a platform that allows municipalities and urban areas to obtain support when making decisions about energy. The FlexSUS project lies under the EU Horizon 2020 programme, and is led by Associate Professor Yang Liu.
