The mission of the Graduate Institute of Manufacturing Technology is to create knowledge about mechanical and manufacturing engineering within the areas of industrial production and mechanical systems and transfer this knowledge to graduates, society, consumers and businesses. Knowledge building is based on strategic and application-oriented research with a generic character.

Fundamental as well as practical trainings are both emphasized in the objectives of education in GIMT. The GIMT offers courses that cover specialist and advanced manufacturing engineering subjects, combining expertise in mechanical, material and mechatronic and computer engineering and the impact of human factors on products and systems.
