  2. A YOUNG INSTITUTE • Founded in 1989 • One of three independent institutes of technology • Three campuses

  3. One of the country’s most distinctly profiled institutes of technology Applied IT Sustainable development in industry and society THE INSTITUTE´S PROFILE

  4. A CLIMATE-NEUTRAL INSTITUTE A concrete means of practising what we preach by: • Increasing awareness of our climate impact • Improving the efficiency of our energy use • Prioritising eco-friendly communication and travel alternatives • Prioritising climate-smart products The negative impact that cannot be eliminated will be compensated for through the purchase of emission certificates. The aim is to become as climate-neutral in our operations as soon as possible and phase out emission certificates.

  5. Master of Science in Computer Security Master of Science in International Computer and Electrical Engineering Bachelor of Science in Spatial Planning with emphasis on implementation and technical systems Web, Internet and Software Engineering Bachelor Programme in Public Health Science with an emphasis on Community Planning NEW PROGRAMMES AUTUMN 2009
