UNIVERSITY WEST AT A GLANCE
University West is a medium sized university located in the south-central parts of Sweden, close to the west coast and close to Gothenburg, the second largest city in Sweden.
We have strong focus on collaboration with surrounding society at all levels of our research and education. We believe in learning through an exchange of knowledge and working together with partners outside the academy to create real societal change. We also believe that knowledge is created and developed everywhere in society and that our relationship to the outside world is fundamental. This belief is summarized in our motto: “Creating change together”.
86 percent of our students are established in the labor market within 1 - 1,5 year after graduating and we have the highest level of students with a non-academic background in Sweden.
We have two complete academic environments where we integrate collaboration, research and education at all levels – Work-Integrated Learning and Production Technology.
