Further training for foreign teachers
Since 2019, Malmö University has been offering the programme Further education for foreign teachers and academics (ULV).
Further education for foreign teachers
Complementary training for foreign academics
The programme is for people who have an academic degree from another country and want to use their foreign qualification in the Swedish labour market. The programme allows you to complement your knowledge and experience, to continue working in your field, or to find a new career direction.
Research at the Faculty of Education and Society
With a strong commitment to society, we conduct multidisciplinary research. The research spans the field of educational studies with a focus on various subjects and forms of education, including teacher training, the broad fields of history and cultural studies, and also sports studies.
Our research often takes place in relation to and in collaboration with society, for example, schools, museums, sports associations, and idea-based organisations. In this way, the faculty contributes, together with other actors, to long-term and scientifically-based solutions for community and school development.
