Master of Science (MSc) in Health Sciences

About the programme

A new version of the programme is on the way

You can apply for the MSc in Health Sciences for the last time with study start in September 2027.

The programme is then expected to become a three-year combined master, where you first study full-time for one year and then combine your studies with a relevant job for two years.

The new programme will continue to have a clinical and research-oriented approach to health sciences and prepare you for development and teaching roles in both public and private sectors.

We will update this page when more information about the new programme is available.
