Support from the university
Relocating is a big upheaval – both for yourself and for your partner/family moving with you. The university strives to make the relocation process as smooth and positive as possible for everyone involved.
When you move after commencing your employment at the university, you are entitled to one day’s paid leave to move.
Information on housing, childcare and schools in Karlstad and Arvika is available through the university. Read more here:
