About the University

History, Affiliations and Rankings

The University of Gothenburg was founded in 1891 as the Gothenburg University College when 7 Professors taught 7 subjects to 21 students, including 4 women students. In 1907 it was granted the same status as Uppsala University and Lund University by the Swedish government, thus creating Sweden's third university. Massive expansion of the University occurred between the 1940s and 1960s when the student enrollment grew from 500 to 21,000. Over the course of time, the University College merged with a number of previously independent higher education institutions and continued to expand its study profile. It was granted the rights of a full university by the Swedish Government in 1954, following the merger of the Gothenburg College with the Gothenburg Medical School. Gothenburg is academically affiliated with Aurora, a network of universities in Europe, and also holds the prestigious Triple Crown Accreditation by EQUIS, AMBA, AACSB. The University ranks #180 in QS World University Rankings 2022, #138 in Shanghai Ranking ARWU 2021 and #185 THE World University Rankings 2022.
