Link?ping University was established in 1975 and since then has gone on to become one of the larger universities in Sweden. Originally the government established a branch of the University of Stockholm in the town of Link?ping to provide education in the fields of technology and medicine. As other schools and faculties were added over the years Link?ping University was born.
