Become a key player in the health sector

The programme is tailored to meet the demand for specialised skills. You will therefore gain advanced skills and theoretical understanding, both of which are essential for addressing health challenges in an innovative way.

Whether you want to immerse yourself in research, assume management responsibilities or contribute to societal health development, the programme allows you to become a key player in the healthcare system.

Integrated knowledge and holistic understanding

The master’s programme in Health Science for working professionals emphasises integrating knowledge from various scientific disciplines such as health sciences, humanities and social sciences.

The programme also focuses on analysing and understanding different perspectives, experiences and needs of both patients and users of healthcare, as well as societal perspectives.

This means you will be trained to not only look at health from an individual perspective, but also to understand the bigger picture of health and illness in society. This will strengthen your ability to participate in and contribute to the healthcare system in a more nuanced and holistic way.

Engaging teaching and global perspective

Our commitment to your academic development and training is reflected in stimulating teaching where you will be challenged and inspired.
Teaching is primarily in Danish, but there may be subjects where the instruction is in English. The examination syllabus primarily includes literature in both English and Danish.

The programme is also available as a master’s programme for working professionals
