It is home to industries based on front-line research and emerging technologies. Several government agencies and enterprises have been relocated to Linköping during the past few decades. You will find the majority of the students - technology students, liberal arts students, economics students and social scientists - at the main campus at Valla, three kilometers outside the town center. The students at the faculty of Health Sciences spend their days on premises close to the University Hospital.
