Life on campus

In our halls and classrooms you will meet a diverse group of students and teachers. Most of our students begin their studies within a couple of years after completing upper-secondary school, but some wait a bit longer. About 20 per cent of our students are 35 or older. International students make up around 8 per cent of the student population.

Living in Gothenburg

Gothenburg has more students than any other city in Sweden. You can choose to lead a typical student life, with great study facilities, cosy cafés, student parties, and communal student accommodation. But you can also take part in the various events and the diverse cultural scene that Gothenburg has to offer.

Student economy

In many ways, Gothenburg is at the forefront of sustainable consumption and effective use of resources. In the last decade, a huge number of second hand boutiques and initiatives based in lending, borrowing, and giving things have sprung up throughout the city.
