The International Master Programme in Nursing Science is for registered nurses who wish to deepen their knowledge in the area and obtain the formal competence required for carrying out research studies. The programme stimulates a greater in-depth expertise in an elective area and prepares students for work in quality management and health care development.

Today´s fast growing health care sector, both locally and internationally, is comprised of a range of complex care environments.

The programme also aims to develop students´ ability to communicate and teach quality improvement work and research in clinical practice.
The Educational Programme is a distance-based contract education programme aimed at registered nurses (RN) with a degree in Bachelor of Science in Nursing. At the completion of the programme the student is awarded a Degree of Master of Science in Nursing.
