Vårt uppdrag – As government employees at universities and colleges

The content of the course covers the role of civil servants at an overarching level. It consists of three main chapters, each of which can be taken independently.

Introduction

This section consists entirely of an animated film that provides an overview of the role of universities and higher education institutions in society. It also addresses the question of why it is important to understand the implications of being a government employee.

Operations

This section is primarily informative and covers different forms of funding as well as the six fundamental principles of the state value system. It also highlights specific regulations that distinguish universities and higher education institutions, such as examination procedures, recruitment, decision-making processes, and organisational structure.

The Individual

In the third and final part of the course, participants have the opportunity to reflect on how the rules governing our work also apply in everyday situations. This section includes thought-provoking questions and interactive elements.

• Have insight into and a broad understanding of what it means to be a government employee within the framework of their work at a university or higher education institution.
