Students' rights are also regulated by the Swedish Higher Education Act and Higher Education Ordinance.
There are several ways students can interact with Karlstad Business School.
Making research and science useful (4.5 credits) is a doctoral course that deals with how knowledge from your research can be useful for society, business and academia.
The findings, experiences, and ideas that emerge from research have traditionally been utilised through academic publication and teaching programmes. However, academic impact alone is no longer enough for a successful research career.
The aim of the project is to identify what constitutes epigenetic literacy and based on that develop and research the effects of a teaching module for the implementation of epigenetics in school biology.

Before, during and after the exchange, you can use your Outgoing Mobility portal to fill up the required forms and send us your documents.Go to Outgoing mobility PortalDuring the exchange periodThe continuation of exchange agreements depends on exchange students’ ability to be good ambassadors for their home university. This means being a good student, being aware of representing Karlstad University and participating in information events and fairs at the host university.
Sustainable development, democracy and equity are topical issues. Students in the social sciences and humanities develop knowledge and skills to deal with such issues and to implement useful ideas.
Such abilities will be even more valued with an increasingly internationalised and borderless world. At the same time local issues grow in importance for the individual, who wants to live, work and exert influence on the local community.

The group´s research is focusing on processing of raw materials with biological origin, which can be further processed into a large number of technically useful products.
The research encompass coating and printing process technology, rheological behaviour of coating materials, barrier technology and performance in converting and packaging, modelling of mechanical behaviour and mass transport performance of coating layers, renewable materials utilization and performance
Old sewer pipes that break down may cause a lot of damage. In the worst case, leaking water erodes the soil and this may result in sinkholes. Now researchers at Karlstad University have created a mathematical model to calculate the corrosion of sewers. This is important in selecting materials for future sewer lines.
Before creating a new type of sewer pipe that needs to function for decades, the user has to be able to obtain an estimate of the rate of corrosion.
