LiU improved its position in several areas in a newly published global subject ranking. Most highly placed are the subjects of engineering, economics and psychology, but the social sciences made the biggest jump.

Children’s language skills arise before speech

Seven out of every hundred children do not learn their mother tongue as expected. Christina Reuterskiöld, newly appointed professor of speech and language pathology at Linköping University, is investigating how language develops in children.
The most important thing that a university does is to educate people, and teachers who stimulate others to learn are worthy of all the encouragement we can give them. We want in this way to demonstrate that teachers are just as important to a university as researchers.
Professor Emeritus Ingemar Ingemarsson, founder of the Ingemar Teaching Prize
