About University West

University West is a modern university offering programs in close collaboration with working life in an attractive and modern study environment. The university has about 15,000 students and 625 employees. The university campus is centrally located in the town of Trollhättan close to cinemas, restaurants and sport facilities, but also to beautiful landscapes. The campus is constructed with the students’ needs in focus. The international atmosphere is informal and dynamic. University West is founded on the principle that knowledge is acquired everywhere, not just in universities. Integrating work situation into study programs so called Work Integrated Learning exemplifies the important relationship between the university and the outside world. Work Integrated Learning provides students with many opportunities to learn from real working life situations through, for example, project work, field studies, mentorship projects and sometimes and even work placements.
