Welcome to UR!

With Swedish Television and Swedish Radio, Sveriges Utbildningsradio AB (Swedish Educational Broadcasting Company), comprise the main core of Sweden’s public service, i.e. radio and television serving the general public.

UR’s mandate is to produce educational and general knowledge programmes for pre-schools, primary and secondary schools and sixth form colleges or high schools. We are the only company in Sweden operating in multimedia – with production of television and radio programmes, websites, books and other publishing products. An important feature of UR is the production of programmes for ethnic minorities and for disability groups. UR has media educationalists stationed in various parts of the country, to inspire and support those using the various forms of media in teaching.

Our programmes are transmitted on the two main channels, SR (Swedish Radio) and SVT (SwedishTelevision), as well as on Children’s Channel and Knowledge Channel which we operate jointly with Swedish Television. Our programmes are intended first and foremost for pre-, primary and secondary schools, sixth form colleges/high schools, adult education and higher education.

What we offer is to be easily accessible and of high quality; our aim is to be at the spearhead of pedagogy.
