Nursing

Welcome to our Nursing courses for incoming exchange students. Here you will develop your clinical skills, deepen your evidence-based knowledge, and gain insight into nursing practice in a Swedish healthcare context.

Nursing students in a ward

The Bachelor’s Programme in Nursing and the Specialist Nursing Programmes at advanced level are taught in Swedish. However, clinical placements with supervision in English can be arranged for exchange students.
