Full-time or flexible?

To make it easier for you to keep in close connection with your employer and professional job, we have organised the programme so, that you do not need to finish the whole programme within one year, but have the option to spread out the elective courses and the thesis project over a longer period of time.

Only rules are, that you need to finish the course Health and Disease in Low- and Middle-Income Communities before moving on the the elective courses, and that you need to finish the entire programme within a maximum of three years. 

If you have any questions about the flexibility of the programme, you are very welcome to contact us.
