Study here
We offer a range of undergraduate and graduate study programmes including nursing, diagnostic radiology nursing, midwifery and specialist nursing. We also provide contract education for professionals as well as single subject courses.
To be able to work as a nurse or midwife in Sweden, you are required to speak and understand Swedish fluently. Hence, all programmes and most courses at the Institute of health and care sciences are taught in Swedish and documented proficiency of the Swedish language is an entry requirement to the study programmes. However, we welcome incoming exchange students from our partner universities who wish to undertake project work, clinical training or take a class taught in English. Please find more information below.
