The University of Gothenburg is a public institution that was founded in 1954, although the roots of one of its predecessor schools go back as far as 1891. The university has facilities located throughout Gothenburg, Sweden, one of the Scandinavian country's largest cities. Students from non-European Union and non-European Economic Area countries pay tuition, while those from EU and EEA countries are exempt. In a recent year, the university's international students hailed from around 70 countries. The school only offers student housing to exchange students, but other students can apply for housing through outside organizations such as SGS Studentbostäder, a nonprofit.The university, which follows a semester-based academic calendar, has eight main academic divisions: science; arts; fine, applied and performing arts; social sciences; business, economics and law; education; information technology; and the Sahlgrenska Academy, which is focused on health sciences. The university engages in various collaborations with the nearby Chalmers University of Technology, including three shared academic departments and an agreement that enables master's students at one school to enroll in courses at the other. The primary language of instruction for undergraduate programs is Swedish, though a number of undergraduate and master's courses are taught in English. Fully English-taught degree programs, mostly at the graduate level, are also offered. International students can get a taste of the local language by enrolling in free Swedish courses at the university. Some of the university's research facilities include a herbarium, the Sven Lovén Centre for Marine Infrastructure and the Swedish NMR Centre, which is focused on nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy.
