Get the knowledge

The path to a great career starts with education… and Skövde.

The fact is that the University of Skövde offers several unique programmes and boasts research projects that are making a splash internationally. For instance, you’ll find northern Europe’s biggest and Sweden’s broadest range of game development programmes. Hit games developed by Skövde companies and former student’s top global bestseller lists time after time and the university is part of Sweden Game Arena, a specific growth environment for computer game development. It also offers great programmes in computing/IT, economics, technology and pure engineering. Hardly surprising then that many of the students are recruited by companies immediately after graduation.

So Skövde must be a great place to be a student? You bet. Living on campus means that everything you need is basically right next door. Cafés and shops, gyms, nature areas, bars and nightclubs and the transport hub, if you actually want to leave Skövde from time to time.

Something bigger

In Skövde you’re close to nature, culture and activities, so if you have half an hour to spare, you can easily enjoy a mountain-bike tour on Billingen, a brief shopping excursion in the city or a circuit on the ski track in winter. Most things are within easy reach, which makes life simpler. However, as essential as it is to have everything close at hand, it’s also good to be part of something bigger.

Skövde is part of Skaraborg, Sweden’s fourth biggest labour market region. Over 250,000 people live within a 50-km radius of Skövde. Almost 12,000 people commute into the city (equivalent to the population of Habo) and over 5,000 commutes to nearby towns every day. Skövde’s central location in Sweden, between Lakes Vänern and Vättern, makes it possible to find exciting career opportunities and live where you want. You can travel to Skövde from Stockholm in two hours, and from Gothenburg in one. It doesn’t get much better than that for a perfect starting point.
