The University of Borås is a modern university located in the centre of the city. We manage educations in Library and Information Science, Business and Informatics, Fashion and Textile Studies, Behavioural and Education Sciences, Engineering and Health Sciences. We have around 12 000 students and 700 employees. Several of our educations can only be found here with us and this attracts students from all over Sweden.
Our research is organised in six areas: Business and IT, Library and Information Science, Resource Recovery, Teacher and Education Work, The Human Perspective in Care and Textiles and Fashion (design and general). We are entitled to award doctoral degrees within four of these areas; Library and Information Science, Resource Recovery and Textiles and Fashion (design and general) and The Human Perspective in Care.
Together with the business sphere as well as the public sector we manage education and research of high international quality and social relevance. We call it “Science for the professions” and it influences everything that we do.
