As of the Autumn semester of 2026, the Unit for Academic Language will no longer provide support or implement initiatives in academic language and writing that are directly aimed at students, doctoral students or other staff at the University of Gothenburg.
This is due to operational changes at the University and the decision by the Vice-Chancellor to establish a new cohesive support unit for higher education pedagogy, pedagogical and didactic development, and academic literacy. The new unit – The Unit for Academic Teaching and Learning – will be established on July 1, 2026, focusing on continuing education for university teachers.
