Our Study Facilities

Gothenburg is situated at the west coast of Sweden. Here you will find coastal waters with higher diversity of marine species than anywhere else in Sweden, along with a relieving proximity to the open sea. The marine research at the University of Gothenburg is prominent in several research fields, and all teaching is done by active researchers. This provides a solid foundation for your studies.

Our Study Facilities in Gothenburg

Most of our teaching takes place in Gothenburg, in the Natrium building on Medicinareberget. The building is home to students and researchers from the Faculty of Science and Technology.
