Information about Elective Courses for Master's in Health Sciences, Autumn semester 2025 and spring Semester 2026
During your Master's studies in Health Sciences, you will need to take one or more elective courses.
Below you will find which semester applies to your specialisation. There you will also see which courses are offered for the autumn semester 2025 and spring semester 2026.
Please note! The Faculty of Health Sciences will annually assess which elective courses to offer each semester, and these will be published prior to the elective course selection period. Therefore, note that the plan for courses offered in spring 2026 is not finalised and there may be changes to the number of courses offered. This will be published during autumn 2025.
Other important information about elective courses
- If a course does not receive more than 20 registered students, the course may be cancelled according to the programme plan. If this happens, you will be contacted and offered to register for one of the other courses.

It will also be possible to choose courses from other study programmes and faculties. Information about which courses these are will be posted in Canvas.
