The origins of Linköping University date back to the 1960s. In 1965, The Swedish National Legislative Assembly (Riksdag) decided to locate some programmes within the fields of technology and medicine to Linköping. A branch of [[Stockholm University]] was placed in Linköping in 1967, offering education within [[humanities]], [[social sciences]] and [[natural sciences]]. 

Two years later in 1969, a unit for medical training and the [[Linköping Institute of Technology|Institute of Technology]] were established, marking the founding of the university. In 1970 all activities were brought together in three faculties within the Linköping University College: the Faculty of Arts and Sciences, the Faculty of Medicine and the Institute of Technology. Linköping University College was granted full university status in 1975 and renamed Linköping University.

In 1977 the teacher training colleges in [[Linköping]] and [[Norrköping]] were transferred to Linköping University. The Faculty of Health Sciences was formed in 1986 based on the faculty of medicine and regional funded education in health care professions. In 1997 a campus was opened in the neighbouring city of Norrköping. The renowned Carl Malmsten School of Furniture — officially Malmstens Linköping University (MLU), and most often referred to as Malmstens — has been part of Linköping University since 2000; after almost 60 years at the city centre, in 2009 Malmstens moved into new premises on the outskirts of Stockholm.<ref>{{cite web | title=History of Linköping University | url=https://liu.se/en/article/history-of-linkoping-university | publisher=Linköping University | access-date=2017-02-17}}</ref>
