Karlstad University applies a number of rules for written exams taken in University examination halls.
The rules help keep examinations as fair as possible. To learn the specifics of the exam you are taking, please ask your teacher or the subject’s administrative office. Here are a few important rules to be aware of before your examination.
Registration
You must sign up to take the exam at least 14 days before the exam date.
The graduate school offers doctoral positions in various subjects and is held together by joint courses and seminars and focuses on practice based research. It aims to develop knowledge of how different content in specific school subjects is transformed in teaching. The Graduate School is a collaboration between Karlstad University, Halmstad University and University West.
Western music history has largely favored male artists, while female and non-binary artists and composers have been largely excluded from historical narratives. This has contributed to musical canons where important voices are missing.
Research and collaboration are an important part of the department's activities. We strive for an interdisciplinary research environment and to be a leader in our specialist areas. We also collaborate with companies, authorities and organizations.
The department carries out a wide range of research projects in a variety of legal disciplines.

Why did both of you choose to study at Karlstad Business School?
– I think the biggest reason is that we’re born in Värmland, says Erik Steijner. Moving to Karlstad felt natural. We didn’t have any solid plans for life, so instead of applying for random jobs, we chose to study.
What were your expectations for the degree programme at Karlstad Business School? Did it live up to your expectations?
– Our original idea was to study IT, says Erik.
I want to start by thanking all of you for doing such a fantastic job throughout the year. I hope you will have the opportunity to relax, recharge your batteries and enjoy some well-earned time off.
Last time I wrote about my first impressions of Karlstad University and how I view our development going forward.

“I am both proud and honoured to be awarded an honorary doctorate at Karlstad University. Especially since Ingesund Folk High School, located right next to the Ingesund School of Music, was the place where my dear parents, Stikkan and Gudrun, not only studied but also became a couple. I truly hope my partnership with the Ingesund School of Music will continue to prosper over the coming years.”
