Nursing

Exchange students in the Nursing Programme can design their own study plan, which will usually combine clinical placement and/or group work and/or research projects. Students can also study theoretical modules.
This programme is taught at both Linköping and Norrköping campuses.

Orientation week

Every semester at the Faculty of Health Sciences starts with a compulsory Orientation Week. You need to be present for the duration. This programme introduces international students to the Swedish health care system, and provides information about practice in clinics and health care centres and working with Swedish patients.
The Orientation Week is designed to help exchange students gain as much as possible from their studies at the Faculty of Health Sciences.
