The Faculty of Technology and Society (TS), conducts education and research with a focus on technology and natural sciences, in close collaboration with industry and other social actors and higher education institutions. The two departments at the faculty are: Computer Science and Media Technology and Materials Science and Applied Mathematics.

Education at Technology and Society

The Faculty of Technology and Society provides courses and study programmes in computer science, construction engineering, machinery and materials science, natural sciences, media technology and applied mathematics. Guest lecturers, study visits and project courses with external clients are a natural part of the faculty’s activities. 

Our ambition is also for students to do student projects and degree projects together with parties outside the higher education system.
