Division of Education and Sociology (APS)

Work life brings both challenges and personal satisfaction to people. At the Division of Education and Sociology we educate tomorrow’s HR consultants and students who will be able to take on future challenges of work life, through their deep knowledge in Pedagogy and Sociology. Research in the division contributes to knowledge about conditions and prerequisites for a sustainable work life, which include areas such as learning, innovation, leadership, gender equality, working conditions and health.
