| CONTENTS |
| Through studies of the immigration to Sweden from a historical perspective, a basis for studies of migration-driving factors is given. The current situation in immigration areas important for Sweden, the living conditions of people there and how this influences integration actions in Sweden are discussed. The life of immigrants and refugees in their new home country, and how the Swedish majority society is influenced by the encounter with the cultures and lifestyles of minorities are also discussed. |
| TEACHING |
| The teaching takes the form of lectures, literature studies, teaching sessions, seminars, group work and discussions with problem-based and thematically orientated working methods. The work is carried out both individually and in groups of different kinds. |
| EXAMINATION |
The course is examined in both oral and written form, individually and in groups. The oral examination consists of presentations of the immigration to Sweden during different periods and how the majority society has been influenced. The written group assignment consists of country and conflict analyses of migration countries important for Sweden and factors important for Swedish integration.
The course is examined through an individual written examination where the course literature is the important starting point.
Students failing an exam covering either the entire course or part of the course two times are entitled to have a new examiner appointed for the reexamination.
Students who have passed an examination may not retake it in order to improve their grades. |
