Department of Computer and Systems Sciences

Welcome to DSV

We are the department that focus on bridging the gap, between on one hand information technology, and on the other hand the social sciences, the behavioral sciences, and the humanities. The focus in the field is in design, construction and use of IT systems in their context in relation to people, organizations and society.

Our department, the Department of Computer and Systems Sciences (DSV), belongs to Stockholm University. We are located in Kista, in one of the world's leading ICT cluster. Here are more companies on a limited area than anywhere else in Sweden. Our extensive and long-term cooperation with the Kista Science City provides us with unique opportunities to link to the industry in all aspects of our academic activities.
