The Master's in Clinical Health Sciences encompasses 120 credits and is standardized over two years (four semesters). The first and second semesters are comprised of required and elective subjects. The required subjects give students a foundation in methods and knowledge of the health care services. The elective subjects allow students to specialize in selected areas. The third and fourth semesters are devoted to the master's thesis (60 credits), where students have the opportunity to practice and work independently and in a scientific way with a problem in the subject area. The programme encourages students to use experience and knowledge from their everyday lives in their coursework. Instruction is concentrated in intensive blocks of weeks. This makes it easier to combine work and studies. The programme is primarily intended for applicants with a degree from a three-year health sciences programme, but applicants with other degrees may be accepted after individual evaluation.
