Chalmers University of Technology

Chalmers was founded in 1829 as the result of a donation from the Director of the Swedish East India Company, William Chalmers. His forwardly optimistic motto, which remains ours today, is: "Avancez!"

Chalmers University of Technology was founded in 1829 through the will of William Chalmers and is consistently ranked among the top 100 Engineering Universities in the world. Education at Chalmers is strongly linked to advanced research in areas of particular strength.  Over a third of the students enrolled on our Master’s Programmes are international students.  The duration for all programmes is two years and upon completion of studies candidates will be granted a Master’s degree, MSc.

Chalmers University of Technology is a full-scale technological university with scientific depth and interdisciplinary breadth. Curiosity-driven fundamental research is just as natural to us as applied research to solve concrete societal challenges. Our 2,300 researchers, instructors and doctoral students conduct research into everything from the smallest building blocks of matter, to systems biology and food products, to climate issues, traffic safety and distant galaxies. They work closely with industry and the public sector in all research. Chalmers also has a strong international air created by exchanges and collaborations with leading universities worldwide.
