School of Technology

Technology and technological developments influence our society in a variety of ways and on a variety of levels. Similarly, society is influencing the direction of technological development. In order to understand the interplay between technology and society, educational courses must be multi-disciplinary, integrating different aspects of the technical and social sciences.

We run both individual undergraduate courses as well as full programs. Our curricula are planned and carried out with the needs of the student and of society in mind. Our subjects relate to the interaction between technology and society. We also put a lot of emphasis on recruiting students from a broad spectrum of society. The programs we run are multi-disciplinary and aim to give a more holistic perspective on societal and technological development.

The courses and programs are run with a focus on examining new ways of thinking in a clearly understandable fashion. This, we believe, gives students the best possible preconditions for success in their education.

Post-graduate research and studies use today’s most pressing issues in society as the foundation for all study but also the questions that come up in the traditional fields of research. Post-graduate studies take a more in-depth look at the school’s subject areas but they also strive to maintain the multi-disciplinary approach.

The School of Technology actively tries to cooperate with the local community through various initiatives with the local authorities and business community.
