About DSV

Department of Computer and Systems Sciences (Institutionen för data- och systemvetenskap – DSV) was formed in 1966 and is one of the oldest ICT institutions in Sweden.

DSV belongs to the Faculty of Social Sciences at Stockholm University and carries all types of academic activities: undergraduate, postgraduate and research.

We are located within Kista in Stockholm. In the middle of one of the world's leading ICT cluster. Here are more companies on a limited area than anywhere else in the country and our widespread and long-term cooperation with Kista Science City provides us with unique opportunities to link to the industry in all aspects of our academic activities.

DSV also operates at the Royal Institute of Technology under the School of Information and Commmunication technology (ICT school). The integration of a technical and a social science perspective on the subject gives us a special responsibility and opportunity, which should hopefully provide unique opportunities to contribute to society´s goals with the university.
