Descrierea universitatii (pe baza site-ului oficial)
The University of Borås is a modern university with six departments. We manage educations in Library and Information Studies, Business and Informatics, Fashion and Textile Studies, Behavioural and Education Sciences, Engineering and Health Sciences. The campus is located in the centre of the city and we have 15 000 students and 650 employees. Several of our educations can only be found here with us and this attracts students from all over Sweden.
The University of Borås has the front edge on several exciting research projects, among other things ‘Smart textiles’ which is a preferential research area in the region. Cloth which changes colours when the mobile phone rings, garments which measure muscular frequency and curtains which become lights in the dark are just a few examples. Furthermore, our students get jobs unusually fast. The fact is that the University of Borås year after year is placed in the top when the Swedish National Agency for Higher Education investigates the employment situation. We keep what we promise. Science for Profession.
University of Borås is a member of the European University Association (EUA). EUA represents and supports higher education institutions in 46 countries, providing them with a unique forum to cooperate and keep abreast of the latest trends in higher education and research policies.
Goals & Visions
The University of Borås's concept is being an innovative professions seat of learning which, in cooperation with the business sphere and the public sector, conducts education and research of high international quality with social relevance. On the basis of a direction focusing on qualified professions, settled upon when the University was founded in 1977, the University of Borås has formulated the goal of becoming the first professions seat of learning. Such a university is characterised by systematic cooperation with the companies and authorities of the surrounding society, what we call partnership. Education and research is not a one-sided commitment for the University of Borås, but is planned, carried out and evaluated in cooperation with our partners. The professions' competence needs, their development and problems take center stage.
An important part of the idea of a university of professions is the development of new forms of examination. The University of Borås wants to create educational programmes with the degree of master of professions and doctor of professions in the Swedish system of examination.We see the realisation of the university of professsions as not only a question of a government decision, but primarily as a gradual quality and profiling process. An important stop on that path is the establishment of a new area of professions, a seventh department, at the seat of learning. The University is working hard at establishing educational programmes focusing on risk, security and safety aspects, for example an academic police training programme. |
