Chalmers University of Technology

Chalmers University of Technology is a private research university located in Gothenburg, Sweden.

Chalmers University of Technology was founded in 1829 following a donation by William Chalmers, a director of the Swedish East India Company. He donated part of his fortune for the establishment of an "industrial school".

The university was originally established as a private institution, and was not until 1937 that it became the second state-owned technical university in Sweden. In 1994 the government of Sweden reorganized Chalmers into a private company (aktiebolag) owned by a government-controlled foundation.

Chalmers has always been closely linked to industry, and its early programs focused on training engineers and scientists to meet the needs of the growing Swedish economy. In the 20th century, Chalmers expanded its focus to include research, and the university today is a world leader in a number of areas of engineering and science.

Today, Chalmers University of Technology is one of the leading technical universities in the world. It is known for its strong research culture, its close collaboration with industry, and its high-quality education. Chalmers is also a major contributor to the Swedish economy, and its graduates are highly sought-after by employers around the world.

Based on the QS World University Rankings of 2024, Chalmers University of Technology is positioned as the #129 top university in the world, which makes it the #5 top university in Sweden. The university's global rank decreased by 4 points from last year.
