School of Health and Welfare, Jönköping Academy

The School of Health and Welfare is one of four schools within Jönköping University and one of the leading institutions in the country for academic studies in health, nursing and social work. We work across disciplines with a focus on practical use. You will work in an organization that gives you skills development and opportunities to be involved and exercise influence.

Each of the four schools at Jönköping University (JU) has its own designated focus areas and research activities. In some fields research is conducted in collaboration between two or more of the schools. One of them is the Jönköping Academy (JA) for Improvement of Health and Welfare within the school of Health and Welfare (HHJ). JA was co-created by the Region Jönköping County, the municipalities in the County and JU in 2009. 

As a strategic priority, JA is currently establishing a new Centre for Co-production as a centre of research and development focusing on the co-production of health and welfare services. For more information, visit www.jonkopingacademy.se
