About the faculty of ENGINEERING

At the Faculty of Engineering and Science (ENGINEERING), we adress global societal challanges through research, education and knowledge collaboration. We work across disciplines and sectors - emphasising cooperation with businesses and public sector authorities - so that our research creates knowledge for the world. Among the major global challenges that we are helping to solve are the transition to green energy, ensuring clean water for the world's population, sustainable construction and smart and innovative methods of production.

Research, education and knowledge collaboration at the faculty are conducted in five departments, each within their core area as well as in interdisciplinary collaboration, in order to archive the best results. 

Department of the Built Environment

BUILD conducts research, trains students and consults in the urban, residential, construction and infrastructure areas. Based on this the department contributes to solving society's biggest challenges, such as the climate crisis, population development, resource scarcity and urbanisation.

Department of Energy

The Department of Energy trains students and conducts research in areas such as energy efficiency, renewable energy, electrification and CO2 storage. With this focus, the department invests its expertise and impact in the green transition.

Department of Chemistry and Bioscience

The Department of Chemistry and Bioscience conducts research and trains students in chemistry, environment, biology and biotechnology. The department has a tradition of collaborating with the business community on new and innovative research, nationally as well as internationally.
