GU campus

The city campus of GU provides students with countless opportunities for work and recreation — from sitting in a coffee shop with a laptop to internships at large companies. Goeteborg has a well developed entertainment infrastructure, but the rhythm of the big city can be distracting for some students. The university has a library, in the collection of which you will find not only textbooks and scientific works, but also works of the classics, modern literature and much more. GU regularly invites foreign students to participate in exchange programs. For locals, this is a unique opportunity to get in touch with the cultures of other countries, meet representatives of different nationalities and make friends around the world.
