Course replacements

The Institute of Health and Society is revising its study portfolio. This means that there will be changes in courses offered. Below you will find an overview of the courses that are being phased out and the courses that will replace them.

If you do not follow the normal progression or are unable to complete courses before they are phased out, you will need to take the replacement course(s).
