Bachelor's level
- Bachelor's Programme in Social Work (in Swedish)

Master's level
Courses offered in English
Research environment at Social Work
Research is conducted at the Department of Social Work in a number of different fields relating to issues concerning social problems and work on social change. This involves research not only into individuals and groups, but also into how social conditions can be used in a welfare perspective.
Research subjects
Doctoral courses
Most of the research at the Faculty of Health and Society is interdisciplinary, which opens up opportunities for new and exciting areas of research beyond the subject divisions that have traditionally existed between medicine and social sciences.
