University West has been commissioned by the government to develop pedagogics connected to WIL. One example of WIL is the so-called Co-op in which studies are sandwiched between periods of paid work.

Research is conducted in the areas of technology, social science, health and caring sciences and the humanities. Work integrated learning constitutes an important, interdisciplinary, field of research. There is a strong connection between the research conducted at University West and the undergraduate education.


The research concerning production processes in the manufacturing industry is of special importance. This research is conducted in close collaboration with a variety of businesses.
