Study engineering and combine technology with your interests
Do you like sports, outdoor life and/or 3D printing? Then you've come to the right place. At the Sports Tech Research Centre, you get an engineering education where theory meets practice – and where you can build your future on what you are passionate about today.
Three future engineers – Hampus Claesson, Johanna Dahlberg and Vincent van Beekum – have just presented their degree projects. Now there are only a few more school days before they can take the step into working life as fully qualified university engineers. Their journey is a clear example of how you as a student can immerse yourself in what you really like, whether it's advanced manufacturing methods or clothing for harsh weather conditions.
Vincent van Beekum has studied to become an engineer in sports technology and thinks that the education has given him a unique combination of interests.
"I'm very active myself and run and ski and use shell garments, it's interesting to connect theory with what I experience myself.
In her degree project, which she is doing together with the clothing company Klättermusen, she tests limit values for different outdoor fabrics.
"I think it's very fun to work with something that is my own hobby, to work with clothes and outdoor things that I'm interested in.
For those who want something extra
For those who are curious about the latest technology in manufacturing, the Additive Manufacturing program offers an exciting path into the engineering profession. In his degree project, Hampus Claesson has focused on melting processes – and appreciates the balance between theory and practice.
"You have to make things and see how they last. If you are interested in the engineering profession but also want something extra, then this is a technology that many industries are interested in.
So do you want to study something that both challenges you and feels relevant to the job market of the future – while at the same time you get to geek out on what you like the most? Then the engineering programmes at the Sports Tech Research Centre are for you.
