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

With some 10,500 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.

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

Robots pose new demands on safety

Large industrial robots have thus far worked in isolation, in clearly defined areas without people nearby. A newly presented thesis at LiU, however, shows that such robots can very well work together with people – and how safety can be ensured.

New method gives robust transistors

A new method to fit together layers of semiconductors as thin as a few nanometres has resulted in not only a scientific discovery but also a new type of transistor for high-power electronic devices. The result, published in Applied Physics Letters.

New method gives hope in understanding Alzheimer’s disease

Scientists are now able to label proteins in the brains of mice who have a disease similar to Alzheimer’s disease. The new method allows the researchers to observe how harmful protein aggregates develop over a longer time period.
