Department of Social Work
Social Work
Social work is both a scientific discipline, an educational field and a profession. Here, classic welfare issues such as poverty, homelessness and social ill health are combined with a strong focus on issues dealing with children, the family, ageing, disability, substance abuse and addiction.
Education at Social Work
The Department of Social Work provides education at bachelor's and master's levels. You can also take on of our many independent courses in the fields of social work, disability and rehabilitation science, or social psychiatry.
Bachelor's level
- Bachelor's Programme in Social Work (in Swedish)
- Social Pedagogical Work in the Field of Disability (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.
