It was founded as Göteborgs högskola (Gothenburg University College) in 1891 and has later absorbed several other, previously independent, institutions of higher education in the city. It became a full university with the merger of the University College with the Gothenburg School of Medicine (Medicinhögskolan i Göteborg) in 1954. Another part of the university is the originally separate Gothenburg School of Economics and Commercial Law, changed to School of Business Economics and Law in 2005. The Sahlgrenska University Hospital is associated with the university as a teaching hospital. Gothenburg University is a pronounced city university, and during the 1990´s the School of Economics and the Academy of Music, Drama and Opera have been given new facilities in the town centre. In 2006 a new campus for the Faculty of Education was opened in central Gothenburg.
