At Chalmers University of Technology, students and researchers from around the world work as a team to develop the technology of tomorrow.
Chalmers occupies a prominent international position in education and research in engineering for sustainable development. This means we play a key role in finding solutions to some of today’s urgent and complex global environmental and resource problems.
With teachers and students from various cultural backgrounds, the whole Chalmers experience is designed to broaden your horizons and provide access to a greater network. Here you’ll learn to think independently and to meet future challenges with the help of engineering methods. We emphasise your creativity and believe in free thinking, empowering you to test your own ideas in the real world.
We have a safe and open-minded environment with two campuses, 11 departments, 200 research groups and nearly 10,000 students representing about 60-70 nationalities. Gothenburg is a welcoming and beautiful city with strong student traditions.
