At Örebro University we are convinced that students can and want to take responsibility for their own learning. We invest in physical and digital settings which stimulate active learning, for our students as well as our employees. Our teaching rests upon scientific and well-tried experience and the connection with research is strong. Our researchers are actively engaged in teaching as well as in designing courses and degree programmes. We strive for education where discussion, openness and reflection are promoted. Teaching is developed through regular collegial interaction which is an integrated part of the schools' quality efforts. Our strategic initiatives are based on the fact that research results should benefit society through collaboration, a goal well-defined in the Higher Education Act.

We work to ensure society benefits from the knowledge and opportunities we create. It is important too, that we reflect the needs and interests of society through our work and development. One of the ways we do this is through our partnerships across the business, public and voluntary sectors. They are partnerships powering interesting, exciting and creative possibilities. Possibilities for us. Possibilities for you.
