Technology at Uppsala University

At Uppsala University, we educate the engineers of the future and conduct cutting-edge research in technology and engineering sciences.

In the engineering sciences at Uppsala, extensive research is conducted in areas such as digitalisation, electrification, electronics, energy, sustainability, industrial engineering, materials, medical technology, mechanics, and civil engineering. As engineers, we always strive to use scientific knowledge to find solutions that make people's lives easier.

The field of technology is multifaceted and interdisciplinary, and it is often where engineering science meets society that new technological solutions are developed. Therefore, we focus heavily on how technology can create welfare, a strong economy, and a sustainable society.

In Uppsala, world-leading technical research and prominent companies are closely connected. This provides opportunities for collaboration and the development of innovations at both the university and the companies. On average, two new companies are developed each year from research in the engineering sciences. These spin-offs reflect the breadth of activities in both research and entrepreneurship, which also gain international recognition and attention.

We conduct research and educate in many engineering disciplines

At Uppsala University, you can enrol in various civil and university engineering programmes, where our students learn to both manage existing technology and develop tomorrow's technological solutions.

Our doctoral students conduct research based on fundamental disciplinary questions and interdisciplinary perspectives, focusing on applied and needs-driven research, as well as pure basic research. Although technical doctors are highly sought after in academia, they often choose to continue their careers in the corporate sector.
