Doctoral studies
Most of the research at the Faculty of Health and Society is interdisciplinary, which opens up opportunities for new and exciting areas of research beyond the subject divisions that have traditionally existed between medicine and social sciences.
Collaborate with us
Our research is carried out and developed in close cooperation with local stakeholders, national organisations and agencies, as well as with international cooperation partners. Research training is conducted more than 20 doctoral students, some of whom are recruited via the graduate school for professionals in the fields of health, nursing and welfare.
Contract courses
We can offer continuing professional development for your staff in the form of courses tailored to meet your wants and needs. You will get access to the latest research and to the disciplinary range offered by the University.
