Education
Our two-year Master programme in Public Health is the best in Sweden. It was, during 2012, the only two-year programme in public health that received the highest grade by the Swedish National Agency for Higher Education – “very high quality”. The one-year programme is relatively new. It builds on the two-year programme for which the first year courses are the same as in the one year programme.
