The overall control and responsibility for higher education and research in Sweden lies with the Swedish Parliament and the Government. The highest decision-making body within the university is the University Board.
The courses are part of ISE Graduate Professional Development Programme and the idea behind the courses is to help companies and employees gain more knowledge about how to develop more sustainable services that create value for customers. The initiative is led by the Service Research Center (CTF) at Karlstad University.
Have you studied, worked or done research at Karlstad University? That makes you an alum! If you join the Alumni Network, you'll stay in touch with your alma mater and former fellow students.
The word alum stems from the latin word "alumnis" which means "foster son" or "pupil". Today, the term is mostly used to denominate a former university or college student.
The Alumni Network at Karlstad University brings together existing and former students and employees at the university.
Studies have shown that the best way to become integrated in a new country, apart from learning the language, is to create a social life and take part in social activities.
Employees at the various departments usually arrange most of the social activities at the University. The University also arranges activities for all employees, for example, an annual staff party.
We also have cooperation with an organisation called Ny i Värmland (New in Värmland).
Karlstad University wants to be an attractive and environmentally friendly employer with healthy employees and facilitate healthy habits. Therefore, the employer and the company GreenBenefits offer the opportunity to rent a bike.The offer is aimed at those who are permanent employees or doctoral students with an expected period of employment of at least three years from the first gross salary deduction.
Although this is a workplace where most people speak English fairly well and where important information is available in English, it is always valuable and useful to have some understanding of Swedish, not least since the university is a public authority regulated by administrative law.
