Linköping University is a research-based university with excellence in education.
LiU, as we often call it, is a multi-faculty university where research and education are equally important. Since the start in the late 1960s, Linköping University has been an innovator, creating new study programmes and new ways to tackle research problems. Innovation has become our tradition.
Furthermore, we have always had strong dialogue with the surrounding business sphere and the community at large, both in terms of research and education. What LiU creates should be of benefit to the public. Together we can build a better, more sustainable world.
The main LiU campuses are located in Linköping and Norrköping in East Sweden. The university is an important driving force for regional development. However, the mission is greater—Linköping University is a national and international player. World-class research is conducted within cutting-edge domainssuch as new materials, IT and disability research. Students come from all across the globe, with over 80 nationalities represented at LiU. Many LiU students study abroad for a semester or a year.
Together we move the boundaries for what is possible. Together we can be bolder, go further and reach higher.
