The education consists of advanced professional studies, elective studies and Master’s thesis.

The joint studies (30 credits) aim at students creating commitment to professional self-leadership and lifelong learning, and can lead people, work groups and change processes, and apply a scientific, evidence-based, sustainable and ethical approach in their daily work in social and health care. One third of the studies (30 credits) consist of one's own working life-based Master’s thesis.

The Master’s thesis becomes part of the student's personal competence profile and it can consist of internal and / or external commissioned work, collaborative projects or other work-related work.
