The School ties together Mälardalen University’s competence in pedagogy the competence in didactics that we have at Mälardalen University, and is based on the university’s excellent teacher education. The combined forces of the School are directed at building strong research environments in pedagogy and educational theory.

The newly established Didaktik-akademi represents an overarching research strategy and connects several of the research environments within the School. Furthermore, strong environments for research are found within the Finnish Language and Culture Center and Ecocritical Literary Studies. The strong research environments also include Applied Mathematics (Financial Mathematics, Discrete Mathematics, and Applied Optimization), which naturally cooperates with researchers within other disciplines of the social sciences, the natural sciences, and technology.
