===Education===

Linköping University offers education at the basic and advanced levels via 120 study programmes, 550 single-subject courses and specialised as well as interdisciplinary [[postgraduate]] studies. 
A large number of the degree programmes lead to qualified [[professional degree]]s in fields such as [[medicine]], [[business]] and [[economics]], [[teacher education]] and [[engineering]]. Many of the programmes are [[interdisciplinary]], combining for example [[industrial management]] and engineering, medicine and engineering, or integrating economics, [[law]] and languages.<ref>{{cite web | title=About LiU| url=https://liu.se/en/about-liu|publisher=Linköping University | access-date=2017-02-17}}</ref>
