Campus experience
The University of Borås, located in Sweden’s textile capital, is a leader in education, sustainability and research. The university is well-renowned internationally for the Swedish School of Textiles and the Swedish School of Library and Information Science as well as the world-leading Resource Recovery research area with its Swedish Centre for Resource Recovery. The university offers unique programmes that attract students globally, with a focus on innovation and cutting-edge research within these areas as well as in the health sciences, IT, police work, teacher education and educational work, technology and engineering, business administration, social welfare, and work life.
This Campus Experience begins with a traditional Swedish fika, followed by an introduction to the university’s history, programmes and research. You’ll then visit the Do-Tank Center, where companies are driving the circular economy, before taking a guided tour of key campus locations, including textile labs, the Digital Business Lab, Smart Textiles Showroom, Tech Borås and the Swedish Centre for Resource Recovery. Along the way, you’ll meet faculty members and hear about their research and academic offerings. Before returning to Gothenburg, you'll have the opportunity to network with our International Coordinators and learn more about the university’s global impact and focus on sustainability.
