Overview
About the programme
Public Health Science has strong research groups focused on children's lives and health, safety and security, as well as psychosocial working conditions. Several large-scale studies are conducted within these themes, continuously collecting extensive data.
This provides security for doctoral students as they can early in their research education engage with existing knowledge banks alongside their own data collection. In this way, doctoral students at the Karlstad University are naturally connected to ongoing research and research groups.
