During Stina Hagsten's upbringing in Vetlanda, she was always surrounded by people who played and sang. Her interest in music has been there for as long as she can remember, and even though she attended the natural science program in high school, she chose to train as a music teacher after graduation.
Stina Hagsten's main instrument is the saxophone, but she also plays the flute and clarinet.

In the subject Media and Communication Studies, you can take independent courses or choose one of our degree programmes. Three years of study, 180 credits, will give you a Bachelor’s degree and qualify you for applying to a Master’s programme.
If you are a present or future student and you have questions about choosing degree programmes and courses, studying abroad, scholarships, study plans, or similar, you can turn to a study and career counsellor.
For just over two years, Karlstad University along with society at large has followed the Public Health Agency’s guidelines, recommendations, and information due to the Covid-19 pandemic. With the pandemic now slowing down, special measures are no longer needed and the information will therefore be removed.

Practical placement
Through the practical placement included in different courses in Civics, contacts are established with the schools which receive our students. In courses which include longer periods of practical placement, the cooperation with schools is enhanced through the visits and other personal contacts that are employed to follow and support the students’ development.
Of all organized educational activities, testing procedures are perhaps the most consequential for the learners. The project Testing Talk, funded by the Swedish Research Council between 2013 - 2016 [Reg. no. 2012–4129], we have examined interaction in and the assessment of second language oral proficiency tests, using the speaking part of the national test of English in 9th grade as our empirical case. What happens when two teenagers sit down to take the test, instructed by their teacher?

The 6G-PATH project aims to take a prominent role in the development and integration of new and improved tools from EU companies with 5G/6G. To achieve this, 7 testbeds will be included in the project that will be used by 10 use cases spread across four key areas: Health, Education, Smart Cities, and Agriculture.
The goal of the 6G-PATH project is to contribute to the development and integration of new and improved tools and products while relevant KPIs and KVIs are measured.
In 2023, Ingesund School of Music recruited a professor in music education. Her curiosity in improvised music has been a driving force and inspiration since childhood. Something which she is happy to share with future music teachers. Her name is Guro Gravem Johansen.
Guro Gravem Johansen comes from a small town in a rural part of northern Norway. When the other children played football, she would sing and play the piano in her room.
Karlstad Business School has approximately 130 employees. What brings us together is a deep interest in economics and business.
Around 2 500 students every year choose to study programmes or courses at Karlstad Business School, either first or second cycle. Most of the academics also conduct research in one of the multidisciplinary research centres or in their subject area.
CTF, Service Research Center at Karlstad University, seeks a Professor in Business Administration with marketing specialization to further develop and strengthen CTF's research in the field.
The appointed professor will be linked to ongoing research at CTF, and at least 50% of duties involve research financed by one of the presently externally funded projects at CTF – to be decided on the basis of the successful candidate’s research profile.

Every day we encounter expressions of different religious traditions in our surroundings, in the news, in literature, in art and in popular culture. It is clear that religion can be an expression of both conflict, reconciliation and a sense fellowship. Thus it is important, relevant and interesting to engage in the field of religious studies.
Some of the questions students process and deepen their understanding of are: What is religion?

In the latest CTF blog, Charlotte Bäccman looks at the reactions to the Corona virus from a social psychological perspective.
Corona or COVID-19, is the virus that singlehandedly has isolated countries, crashed the world economy, and reduced pollution; and you have been forced to (re-)act in some way to its rampage. Today’s reality is contradictory, on one hand we are urged to extreme precautions before an imminent threat.

In the ever-evolving landscape of business and healthcare, innovation has become the key to unlocking success. We live in a world where organizations must constantly adapt, enhance their operations, and embrace change to stay competitive.

In House 11, Erik Wästlund is just finishing a Zoom meeting on research funding. He is new as professor of psychology, but a familiar face in the university corridors.
– I started studying psychology here in 1996, he says.
– Back in those days it was mostly because I wanted to do something more besides my job working in a bar. But pretty soon my studies became more important than my work. Psychology was not a given choice.
