Initiative for newcomers and integration

Uppsala University has knowledge in a number of important areas relevant to the current situation with many newcomers in Sweden. We have different opportunities for continuing professional development. There are also opportunities aimed directly at newcomers. In several projects we collaborate closely with other actors in society.

Study programmes and continuing professional development for newcomers

Uppsala University organises a number of educational activities relating to newcomers and integration. These activities are aimed both at newcomers and at Swedish employees who meet newcomers as part of their job.

Collaboration and networks

Lund/Uppsala Migration Law Network (L/UMIN) is a collaboration between Uppsala’s and Lund’s faculties of law on Swedish immigration law. The research looks at international and national aspects of immigration law.

Education for Equity is an Erasmus+ collaboration between Uppsala University’s Centre for Professional Development and Internationalisation in Schools and the Allt Valley Comunity Trust, Liverpool, and Bildungswerk Kreuzberg, Berlin. The project studies how school achievements are supported and early drop outs are reduced.
