FACULTY OF EDUCATION
Background and Facilities
The Faculty of Education was formed in 1999. Until then, it had been part
of the Faculty of Social Sciences. Most of the Faculty’s activities are
concentrated to the Pedagogen complex in central Gothenburg. The
Faculty moved to the present location from Mölndal (immediately south of
Gothenburg) in 2006.
Pedagogen was built on a historic site with remains from the 1600s. For
example, part of the city’s old fortification Carolus Dux is visible for public
view. Pedagogen’s building A was erected in 1855 and served as a
hospital until 1900. Building C, originally a school building, stood finished
in 1862.
Building B is the area’s most recent addition, built in 2006.
In 2011, the School of Sport Science opened at
Skånegatan. The building gathers applied research
and education related to sports, health and nutrition
under one roof, and many of the Faculty’s students
complete parts of their education there.
