Graduate School of Health
The Graduate School of Health has the ambition to offer a strong and creative research education environment in a broader context than any individual subject can offer. Activities in the graduate school will strengthen quality and content in supervision and education, and will be seen as resources for our PhD students and also include study social activities.
Research in health is a multifaceted field, which requires that different scientific competences work together on the basis of multidisciplinary perspectives. New knowledge often develops largely in the border between different scientific disciplines and traditions.
The subjects included in the graduate school currently provide mainly their own research courses. Some courses have been coordinated and partially integrated, including methodology and some thematic courses and interdisciplinary seminars and workshops.
The Graduate School offers an opportunity for students from subjects in the health field who do not have a doctoral programme in their subject, to be admitted as a doctoral student at one of the subjects included in the Graduate School, after assessing whether the second-cycle degree is equivalent.
As a doctoral student, you are welcome to participate in the Graduate School's activities when you have an area that concerns health.
