The University of Skövde is a relatively young university, offering a range of subjects traditionally taught at universities as well as unique study programmes in a large number of fields. Many of our programmes combine several fields of study and the result is something quite new and exciting.
Foreign visitors
Foreign students come to the University of Skövde as part of our exchange programme with our partner universities. For post-graduate students, we offer Masters programmes taught entirely in English. Foreign academics are also welcome on lecturer exchange or for other types of visits.
Quality and diversity
We offer study programmes of high quality in an environment that celebrates diversity and equal opportunity – this is fundamental to our philosophy. Continuous evaluation and development is also required in order to maintain the quality of our programmes.
A campus we're proud of
The University has only one campus, which is close to the centre of Skövde and close to the student accommodations. The campus also includes a large parkland area with the university restaurant forming a natural meeting point for students, staff and visitors.
”Korta vägen” – the short way for foreign
graduates to find work in Sweden
Have you just arrived in Sweden with a degree from abroad, or already been here less than three years? And you wish to study in Sweden or get a job in the line of your profession?
”Korta vägen” – the Short Way – is a intensive course on the University of Skövde, designed to make it easier for foreign graduates to become a part of the Swedish labour market, to get internships and in the end get a job that corresponds with their education and/or profession.
