Karlstad University

All university education consists of courses which can be studied separately or as part of a programme. Karlstad University offers over 900 courses, which can be seleced and combined into a degree that reflects your interests. Many courses are offered as full-time, part-time, on or off-campus studies.The courses are divided into three levels: undergraduate level, master’s level and doctorate level (first/basic, second/advanced and third level). Normally courses must be taken in a certain order since there is a progression from one course to the next. Students who are uncertain about how to combine to reach their goals are welcome to consult with the university study counsellors.Undergraduate and postgraduate education and research are expected to interact and support one another. Research is carried out across disciplinary and faculty borders and also in conjunction with industry and the public sector at the regional, national and international level.The ambition is to make research productive and develop new knowledge without compromising the independence and integrity of research. The goal is to ensure high academic quality research with social relevance.
