==History==
Chalmers was founded in 1829 following a donation by [[William Chalmers (merchant)|William Chalmers]], a director of the [[Swedish East India Company]]. He donated part of his fortune for the establishment of an "industrial school".<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.chalmers.se/en/about-chalmers/traditions-and-celebrations/a-brief-history-of-chalmers/|title=A brief history of Chalmers|date=19 October 2022|language=en-us|access-date=2023-02-25|archive-date=25 February 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230225163529/https://www.chalmers.se/en/about-chalmers/traditions-and-celebrations/a-brief-history-of-chalmers/|url-status=live}}</ref> The university was run as a private institution until 1937 when it became the second state-owned technical university. In 1994 the [[government of Sweden]] reorganised Chalmers into a private company ([[aktiebolag]]) owned by a government-controlled [[Foundation (nonprofit)|foundation]].
Chalmers is one of three universities in Sweden which are named after a person, the other two being [[Karolinska Institutet]] and [[Linnaeus University]].

==Students==
Each year, around 250 postgraduate degrees are awarded as well as 850 graduate degrees. About 1,000 post-graduate students attend programmes at the university, and many students are taking Master of Science engineering programmes and the Master of Architecture programme. Since 2007, all master's programmes are taught in English for both national and international students. This was a result of the adaptation to the [[Bologna process]] that started in 2004 at Chalmers (as the first technical university in Sweden).

As of 2025, about 17% of all students at Chalmers come from countries outside Sweden to enroll in a program at Chalmers.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2024-06-15 |title=Chalmers University of Technology |url=https://www.timeshighereducation.com/world-university-rankings/chalmers-university-technology# |access-date=2025-01-26 |website=Times Higher Education (THE) |language=en}}</ref>

Around 2,700 students also attend Bachelor of Science engineering programmes, merchant marine and other undergraduate courses at [[Chalmers Lindholmen University College|Campus Lindholmen]]. Chalmers also shares some students with University of Gothenburg in the joint IT University project. The [[IT University]] focuses exclusively on information technology and offers bachelor's and master's programmes with degrees issued from either Chalmers or University of Gothenburg, depending on the programme.

Chalmers confers honorary doctoral degrees to people outside the university who have shown great merit in their research or in society.

== Organization ==
Chalmers is an [[aktiebolag]] with 100 shares à 1,000 [[Swedish Krona|SEK]],<ref>[http://www.chalmers.se/en/about-chalmers/chalmers-university-of-technology-foundation/Pages/statutes.aspx Statutes of Chalmers University of Technology Foundation, paragraph 3] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130928054702/http://www.chalmers.se/en/about-chalmers/chalmers-university-of-technology-foundation/Pages/statutes.aspx |date=28 September 2013 }} (this is a translation of the [http://www.chalmers.se/sections/om_chalmers/stiftelsen_chalmers/stadgar swedish text] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090506142310/http://www.chalmers.se/sections/om_chalmers/stiftelsen_chalmers/stadgar |date=6 May 2009 }}.) Chalmers University of Technology</ref> all of which are owned by the Chalmers University of Technology Foundation, a private foundation, which appoints the university board and the president. The foundation has its members appointed by the Swedish government (4 to 8 seats), the departments appoint one member, the [[Students' union|student union]] appoints one member and the president automatically gains one chair.<ref>[http://www.chalmers.se/en/sections/about_chalmers/chalmers_university/statues Statues of Chalmers University of Technology Foundation, paragraph 5] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080914173702/http://www.chalmers.se/en/sections/about_chalmers/chalmers_university/statues |date=14 September 2008 }}. Chalmers University of Technology. Retrieved on 9 August 2011.</ref> Each department is led by a department head, usually a member of the faculty of that department. The faculty senate represents members of the faculty when decisions are taken.

==Campuses==
[[File:Chalmers entrance.jpg|right|250px|the gate of Chalmers (Gibraltar Campus)]]
In 1937, the school moved from the city centre to the new Gibraltar Campus, named after the mansion which owned the grounds, where it is now located. The [[Chalmers Lindholmen University College|Lindholmen College Campus]] was created in the early 1990s and is located on the island [[Hisingen]]. Campus Johanneberg and Campus Lindholmen, as they are now called, are connected by bus lines.
