Blekinge Institute of Technology, Sweden
At Blekinge Institute of Technology (BTH) education and research are of a very high international standard and learning is the focal point for student, teacher and researcher alike. We are the most distinctly profiled higher education institutions in Sweden, with a clear focus on applied information technology and innovation for sustainable growth. BTH is a broad-based institute of technology. Business administration, social sciences, the humanities and health sciences are obviously influenced by the applied IT profile, resulting in a fruitful meeting between the humanities and technology. BTH carries on research - often frontline research - in all its programme areas, securing the vital link between education and research. As the youngest institute in Sweden, BTH was granted "university rights" in engineering. The strong research environment is also noticeable in the broad international element. The teaching and research groups represent fifteen nationalities and through the students fifteen more cultures are added to further enrich the environment.
