Description

University West (UW) in Trollhättan is a modern Swedish university, which offers education collaborating with work-life in an attractive and modern study environment. We focus on the student and learning that is integrated with the industry, municipals and societal organizations. Work integrated learning (WIL) as perspective and method permeates the work at the university and is also our profile.

The university offers study programmes, second cycle programmes and a variety of courses in engineering, computing and IT, economy and leadership, health and care, teaching and languages, media, and social sciences. In total UW provides 27 basic level and 17 advanced level programs.

University West is authorized to award degrees at the doctoral level in the field of Production Technology and Work Integrated Learning. Research is conducted within the areas of technology, social science, health and caring sciences and the humanities. Of currently 60 doctoral students at University West, about one third are externally employed doctoral students.

Main added values for the project

University West has large experience in running educational projects aiming to cover the special needs of different target students. We have developed courses at higher education level in several engineering areas such as robotics, automation technology, engineering tools, computational technology and manufacturing technology, all of them in co-production with the Swedish industry.

We have even fully digitalized our Master programme in Robotics, and we can offer a complete online master education. We are fully committed to enhance the digital skills and competences of our teachers to support our students and to boost the quality of our education. We can contribute to the project with engaged researchers and teachers who will work in the development and application of the digital tools in this project.
