LTH glossary
At LTH, we generally follow Lund University's English/Swedish terminology. However, some words and titles are LTH-specific. On this page you will find an English-Swedish glossary for the terminology we use at LTH.
The list below has been compiled in collaboration with several divisions and units at LTH. You are welcome to send suggestions for terminology that should be added to this glossary. Please send them to roger [dot] senden [at] lth [dot] lu [dot] se (roger[dot]senden[at]lth[dot]lu[dot]se).

About names, titles and organisational names
At LTH we write each word in a name/title/department name with initial capital letters in English (for example "John Johnsson. Head of Division" "Professor John Johnsson" or "Division of Architecture").
If the words are used in a more general form, then they will be without initial capital letters (e.g. "a head of division", "a professor", or "a division").
