Présentation

Chalmers University of Technology offers Ph.D and Licentiate course programmes as well as MScEng, MArch, BScEng and nautical programmes.
The University was founded in 1829 following a donation by William Chalmers. The first vice-chancellor of the University was Carl Palmstedt. Chalmers became an independent foundation on July 1, 1994.
Around 10,200 people work and study at Chalmers, including more than 8,000 undergraduates.
Each year around 250 PhD and Licentiate degrees are awarded as well as 850 MScEng and MArch degrees.
Around 40% of Sweden's graduate engineers and architects were educated at Chalmers.
Chalmers' turnover is approximately SEK 1.7 billion per year, more than two-thirds of which is related to research.
Located on the Chalmers campus is Chalmers Science Park, the site of a number of company research departments as well as various University bodies involved in interaction with business and industry.
Several hundred so-called spin-off companies have emanated from Chalmers and employ more than 4,000 people. The Innovation Centre is charged with the task of promoting this particular area of the University's operations.
Chalmers is involved in approximately 150 industrial and educational projects within the EU.
