Research
Research in social work/sociology and psychology is becoming increasingly focused on one of the university´s research profiles — health-promoting working life - with a broadening of this profile and the area of psycho-social (ill) health. We also conduct research in each discipline and develop research that will strengthen the social work and personnel programme and the working life programme.

- Cooperation
The department collaborates with many universities in Sweden and abroad. In both research and education, we are developing cooperation with organizations, companies and government agencies. We are making efforts to increase the number of courses that can be provided as commissioned courses, for example.
