Centrally in the studies is to impart to the student insight into disability and disability from different research perspectives and research problems. These are studied with essentially two basic dimensions as a starting point: one dimension is individual and society, and is about to start from the individual's circumstances, perspectives and problems or to make social analyzes of the disabled conditions. The second dimension is the nature and culture and the importance of being able to carry Disability Research from clear scientific, technical and medical problems as a starting point to understanding impairment and disability where various cultural and social scientific analytical approach emphasized. Within the problem area, the student will integrate and combine knowledge from several different scientific perspectives.
