Childhood Studies Short Course in Sweden

Sweden is a very ambitious, eco-friendly, and visionary country. For example, by 2040, it aims to produce all its energy from renewable sources. Universities play an important role in achieving development goals, thanks to their world-class research facilities. If you’re from the EU/EEA, you can study at public universities for free. As a student, you will discover and easily adopt the three main values of Swedish society: freedom, equality, and sustainability. These values are reflected in every aspect of the local society, and you’ll quickly learn to appreciate them. Language barriers are also almost non-existent since around 80% of Swedes speak English.

Childhood Studies programmes explore the way children learn and develop. Expect to take classes on psychology, sociology, law, and understand how economic, social, and political factors impact children's lives and welfare. After graduation, expect to work in the public sector or NGOs with a mission to create policies and safeguard children’s wellbeing.
