Göteborgs Universitet

The University of Gothenburg (Göteborgs universitet) is a university in Gothenburg and, according to the university, one of the largest higher education institutions in Sweden. Teaching and research are organised in seven faculties:

• Faculty of Education
• Faculty of Humanities

The university offers more than 170 first-cycle (bachelor's-level) programmes, including Medicine, Law, Dentistry and Pharmacy, as well as master's programmes, free-standing courses and exchange studies. Doctoral education leads to a PhD after four years of full-time study or a licentiate after two years, and is free of charge in Sweden.

Applications are made online. Citizens of countries outside the EU, the EEA and Switzerland normally pay application and tuition fees; the university has scholarship programmes for fee-paying students, such as the Axel Adler Scholarship, a tuition fee waiver for international bachelor's and master's programmes. Non-EU students staying more than three months need a residence permit before travelling, and may generally work up to 15 hours a week during the semester.
