University West is located near the west coast of southern central Sweden, in Trollhättan. The city, with its 60,000 inhabitants, is a well-known destination, attracting thousands of visitors every year. It is a creative city – a place with room for both development and a vision for the future.
The University campus is situated in the heart of the city centre, close to cafés, cinemas, restaurants and sports facilities, but also near a beautiful natural landscape. You don’t have to waste time in traffic queues or feel stressed in overcrowded subways. As a student in Trollhättan you have all you need close by.
The Göta River and its great waterfalls are within walking distance from campus. The falls have provided the local economy with power for several hundred years, and Sweden’s first hydropower plant was established here.
Today Trollhättan is home to a number of high-tech companies. One of the best-known is GKN Aerospace, a company that not only sends its jet engines out into the world but also out into space, through its development of rocket engine technology. The Swedish electric car manufac¬turer Polestar, is currently locating development and testing operations in Trollhättan.
An exciting part of Trollhättan’s proud industrial history is the entertainment industry, with entrepreneurs in media and film production.
Trollhättan is a part of the wider Västra Götaland region and is located not more than a 35-minute train ride from Gothenburg, the second largest city in Sweden.
