Working Life Science offers education at all university levels including the doctoral level and contract courses. We carry out research projects and cooperate with external partners and our students have continual contact with professional practice through mentorship companies.

In conjunction with work science at Gothenburg University, we publish the journal Arbetsmarknad & Arbetsliv [Labour Market & Working Life]. Most of the editors are at Karlstad University. More information on the journal, submission of articles, and published articles is available at the Swedish website arbetsmarknad-och-arbetsliv.kau.se

Working Life Science is part of Karlstad Business School.
