These units, which have the immediate responsibility for research and instruction, are analysed in a historical-international and in a modern perspective. The latter is based on the 1977 reform of higher education in Sweden.The study is divided into eight parts. The first part deals with theaim of the study, its issues and methods. The second part consists of a historical-international analysis of the development of the universities' basic units in France, West-Germany, England and America. The third part deals with the Swedish basic units before the 1977 reform. In the fourth part the goals of Swedish universities are anlysed and in the fifth part the 1977 reform of higher education in Sweden is commented with respect to the basic units and the system with educational line committees. The sixth part deals with the attitudes to the goals of the university. This part is based upon apostal questionnaire in spring 1978, directed to chairmen of departments (prefekter) and officers of instruction (studierektorer).
