Faculty of Engineering, Lund University. The Faculty of Engineering is one of the eight faculties at Lund University in Lund, Sweden, commonly called LTH (after its Swedish name Lunds Tekniska Högskola). LTH has (2022) about 1,500 employees and nearly 10,000 students, of which about 650 graduate annually. LTH currently offers 16 engineering programmes, 5 higher engineering programmes and 19 international master's programmes. LTH trains civil engineers, fire engineers, architects, industrial designers and doctors of technology. LTH's higher education engineering programmes take place at Campus Helsingborg. LTH also offers a unique education in risk management and professional training in food technology. Since 2010, LTH has also been responsible for the bachelor's programme for airline pilots. The civil engineering programmes were changed in autumn 2007 as a step in the Bologna process and are now 5 years long, equivalent to 300 credits. First-cycle courses are as a rule offered in Swedish, while higher-level courses are often taught in English with English literature.

History 
Lund University of Technology, LTH, was founded in 1961 and incorporated in 1969 as part of Lund University. The university originally consisted of six sections, Engineering Physics, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Civil Engineering, Chemical Engineering and Architecture. Carin Boalt became Lunds first female professor on her appointment as a professor of Building Function Analysis in 1964.

The range of courses has developed over time and now includes Computer Engineering and Biotechnology as well as Fire Engineering, Ecosystem Engineering, Industrial Economics and Industrial Design. LTH is located on its own campus where most of the buildings were designed by Klas Anshelm. Since 1995, LTH has also been running higher education engineering programmes in Building Technology and Computer/Electrical Engineering at Campus Helsingborg. LTH has its own dean since 1990. These have been Bertil Törnell (1990–1993), Sven Lindblad (1993–1996), Thomas Johannesson (1996–2001), Gunilla Jönson (2002–2007), Anders Axelsson (2008–2014), Viktor Öwall (2015–2020) and Annika Olsson (2021- ).
