Education
The University of Skövde has educations in several different areas. We have about 60 programs to choose from. We also offer a variety of separate courses.

The overall aim of the evaluation, known as ARC13 (Assessment of Research and Co-production 2013), is to develop the research fields at the universities involved.

The campus has a large green central area with an 18-meter high bell tower, which is a natural meeting place for students during the summer months
