Our campus

Our campus is composed of modern, purpose-built buildings in the city centre of Borås within walking distance of local amenities such as shops, restaurants, banks, supermarkets and the main bus and train stations. Public transportation in Borås is both safe and reliable and as a result many of our students choose to live in the surrounding region and commute to the university.

Campus

The university's campus is located in the city centre at the end of the central street called Allégatan. It’s about a 10-minute walk from Resecentrum, which is the central station for the city’s trains and buses.

Environmental work on campus

The University of Borås has a strong sustainability profile and we are actively working to reduce our footprint on the planet. In addition to a clearly integrated environmental profile in teaching as well as organisational governance and management, we also encourage our students to take steps towards sustainability during their studies. Therefore, we encourage you to take the bike or bus to the university, use the recycling stations that are located around campus, turn off lights in study rooms and toilets when you leave, and turn off computers when you have finished working.
