Changes in study portfolio at Institute of Health and Society

The Institute of Health and Society is revising its study portfolio. This means that there will be changes in courses and study programmes  offered.

Discontinuation of courses

  • Several mandatory and optional courses will be discontinued. If you have passed the exams for these courses, you will not be affected by their discontinuation.
  • It is important that you familiarise yourself with the latest teaching and examination semester for the courses included in your study programme.
  • If you have not passed the exams for the courses that are being discontinued, you must attend teaching and sit for the exams before they are discontinued.
  • For modules that are mandatory within a study programme, a final examination will be arranged for students who:
    • have admission to study the course
    • have completed the teaching and had compulsory activities approved
    • have received a "Did not attend", "Did not pass" or wish to improve their grade in course
