PhD Programme in Health and Medicine

The PhD programme in Health and Medicine is a doctoral programme at the Faculty of Health Sciences. Health and Medicine describes a field of research which works to improve the medical services and thus public health.

Applicants with a academic background who have completed a five-year master degree (3+2)

Funding for projects must be secured before admission

Continous admission

The health problems we face today differ from earlier health challenges. Previously, bacterial infectious diseases  threatened people's health - today we have the HIV virus epidemic which is the largest public health problem in Africa. Today's health problems are to a greater extent linked to the individual's lifestyle and ability to safeguard their own health. We see significant health challenges in relation to chronic diseases, mental illness, substance abuse, cancer, diabetes, obesity, COPD, asthma and dementia.

It is therefore a need to integrate research in medicine and health with elements from several disciplines in order to gather knowledge about individual, structural, organizational and social phenomena. This requires both multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary research where methods from different fields, like social science, epidemiology and health services research, are relevant.

Our PhD programme in Health and Medicine is founded on a broad methodology to facilitate multi - disciplinary approaches to scientific research. This includes several disciplines: clinical and translational medicine, nursing, chiropractic, patient safety, and psychology. The programme will help to develop knowledge that enables patients and healthcare professionals to better meet tomorrow's health challenges. It is our aim to develop our PhD students' ability to conduct research that increases understanding of how factors at different levels and areas affect human health.

Doctoral degrees

Do you want to contribute to the development of new professional knowledge at an international level in your field? A doctoral degree from Nord University qualifies both for a further academic career and for other professions with high requirements for competence and scientific insight.

Nord University offers four PhD programmes within the university's five faculties. A PhD education is a structured degree programme that is standardized to three years of full-time studies. Some doctoral positions include a fourth year of mandatory work.

The research related to the doctoral programmes supports the overall study portfolio as well as the university's profile areas .

The faculties have specific additional information for each individual study program.

To be admitted to the doctoral education, you must have a scientific master's degree of at least 120 credits or another completed higher degree equivalent to a Norwegian master's degree. It is expected that you have a strong academic background with a satisfactory grade point average.

Education from abroad

If you have education from abroad, an assessment will be made during the application process. The education must correspond to a Norwegian scientific two-year master's degree. The documentation must be translated into English or a Scandinavian language. Alternatively, you can contact HK-dir (Norwegian Directorate for Higher Education and Skills) for an assessment of your education.

Our four PhD programmes have slightly different academic admission requirements. The other qualification requirements also vary between the doctoral programmes and depend on the specific doctoral positions to be filled.

For more detailed information about the requirements, please refer to the respective PhD programme's website and job advertisements.

Admission requirements

In order to be admitted to the PhD programme, it is further required that you have sufficient funding (see the Financing section), an approved project description, and a schedule for completing the doctoral education.

Admission to our PhD programmes is ongoing and is based on individual applications, which must include the following attachments:

• Documentation of completed scientific master's degree (120 credits) or equivalent higher degree from abroad.
• Project description.
• Statement on any legal and ethical issues raised by the project and how they can be resolved.
• Data Management Plan ( DMP ).
• Proposal for at least one supervisor, and affiliation with an active research environment.

For a complete list, please refer to the PhD regulations § 6-2. (pdf)

Only candidates with satisfactory funding for the entire doctoral education can apply for admission to the doctoral programme. The funding should cover both living expenses (salary) and operational costs related to the research.

There are mainly two ways to obtain funding for a PhD project. First and foremost, you can apply for and secure a doctoral position at Nord University. Doctoral positions are advertised under Vacant Positions on our website. Private financing such as personal or family funds, pensions, or similar sources are not accepted as funding for admission to the organised doctoral education.

You can also obtain a doctoral position or other type of PhD funding at another university, college, or research institute. Some of these positions will be advertised, while others may involve being released from your current employer in private companies or public institutions.

Research Council of Norway

It is also possible to seek funding through the Research Council of Norway's scheme for industrial PhD or public sector PhD, or educational scholarships from various national and international organisations.

You can also approach potential employers in your field of interest and jointly seek funding for your project. Regardless of the form of funding, it is expected that all candidates who are admitted have normally competed for funds that have been openly advertised.

Annual budget

In addition to salary, doctoral candidates employed at Nord University will receive an annual budget to cover the project's operational costs. It will also be possible to apply for additional funding, such as for international mobility. At the time of admission, there should be an understanding between the candidate and the employer/funding source that the planned expenses for the doctoral project do not exceed the available operational funds for the project.

A PhD programme is a structured and supervised degree programme standardised to three years of full-time study. The programme consists of:

• A thesis based on independent research
• A training component comprising relevant courses
• Participation in national and international research environments
• Relevant academic dissemination
• Final doctoral examination, including a trial lecture and a public defense

A PhD study programme requires a high degree of independence and the ability to carry out one's own research project. Some PhD positions include a fourth year with mandatory tasks, usually in the form of teaching or research and project assistance.

PhD candidates are encouraged to conduct parts of the programme abroad, either through research stays or by taking portions of the training component in foreign institutions. PhD candidates are expected to actively participate in international conferences. Candidates who write an article-based thesis are expected to publish in international journals and co-publish nationally and internationally.

Nord University has a common regulation for the PhD degree across all doctoral programmes:

• Regulations for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) at Nord University (English) (pdf)

All activities related to the PhD programmes are subject to these regulations. In addition, each programme has its own supplementary provisions. The supplementary provisions may be stricter than the regulations but cannot relax the provisions stated in the regulations. The PhD regulations shall apply in case of any dispute regarding the interpretation of the content on this website and the provisions in the regulations.

Links to the supplementary guidelines for the programmes:

PhD in Biosciences

PhD in Business

PhD in Sociology

PhD in Science of Professions

All PhD programmes have a training component. An overview of courses and seminars, including mandatory and elective ones, as well as the organisation of the training component, can be found on the respective program pages.

Our PhD candidates can take PhD courses at Nord University. If the university does not offer the entire training component itself, arrangements will be made for the candidate to complete equivalent training at other institutions, nationally or internationally.

Please note that it is possible to take courses from a different programme than the one you are enrolled in, but make sure to check in advance if the course can be approved as part of your training component.

During the training period, it is expected that candidates enhance their knowledge of scientific theory, research methods, and research ethics. The development of skills in communicating research results is also required as part of the training.

Most of our courses are open to external applicants enrolled in other PhD programmes both nationally and internationally. Refer to the programme pages to find out which courses are offered and contact the course coordinator to inquire about availability.

Department of Nursing and Health Sciences

The Department of Nursing and Health Sciences is the third largest Bachelor's degree in nursing in Norway, spread across three campuses: Porsgrunn, Vestfold and Drammen. We educate nurses who will be well prepared for working on a daily basis in the health service of the future. The Department also has a wide range of Master’s degrees (clinical health work, advanced clinical nursing, midwifery, intensive care, aesthesia, health care nurses) and continuing education programmes such as health guidance and geriatric assessment expertise.

The Department of Nursing and Health Sciences conducts research in respect of our fields of study and the actual programmes that we run. The Department has the following research centres and established research groups:

• Advanced nursing practice
• Center for Care Research, South
• Center for Women's, Familiy and Child Health
• Science Centre Health and Technology
• USN Research Group on Older Persons’ Health
• Clinical expertise in nursing studies

Regional cooperation

The Department wishes to be a strong regional partner and is able to offer both course and research services.

Our study programmes

There is a great need to increase nursing competence in rural municipalities. We want to offer studies where people live and work. We have therefore developed this part-time study programme in nursing for those who live in certain municipalities in Telemark.

Where does the teaching take place?

We have a strong collaboration with the municipalities targeted by this study programme. Upon completion of your studies, you will therefore have nursing skills that are in demand for rural nurses. For Telemark, Notodden will be the main campus, but it may also be possible to use our campuses in Bø and Rauland.

To be eligible for admission, students require a residential address in one of the following municipalities: Drangedal, Fyresdal, Hjartdal, Kviteseid, Midt-Telemark, Nissedal, Nome, Notodden, Seljord, Tinn, Tokke or Vinje.

How does the teaching take place?

This study programme has a high degree of flexibility in terms of teaching and learning. We offer synchronous (real-time) and asynchronous (recorded) online lectures and supervision in combination with local sessions. We focus on active and self-directed learning, collaborative learning and the use of digital resources (videos, podcasts, websites etc.) and digital tools.  

The flipped classroom is a teaching method that turns traditional learning on its head. In short, students work with various learning resources before a session, while the session is dedicated to active learning. Essentially, what traditionally takes place in the classroom is swapped around. This requires good self-directed learning skills. You will also be supervised as you progress and your work will be subject to a final assessment by teaching staff and fellow students. Many of the learning activities involve collaborative learning before, during and after the session. The purpose of the learning groups is to help create a learning community that fosters motivation and development through the in-depth study of literature, dialogue and the sharing of knowledge. 

Webinars and clinical practice in the part-time study programme

The study programme will have approximately three in-person sessions and 29 webinars per semester. This is set for the 1st semester but will be determined in closer consultation with the field of practice and eventually with you as well. You will be assigned to a learning group where advanced practice nurses in the municipality, who hold joint appointments at USN, have a specific responsibility for supervision along with other USN staff.

Clinical practice

Clinical practice and practical studies constitute half of the study programme in nursing. In clinical practice, you have the opportunity to apply theoretical and practical knowledge and practise the values of the profession. In the part-time programme, the clinical practice model has been developed in collaboration with the field of practice. To ensure maximum flexibility, clinical placements mainly take place in your home municipality or a nearby municipality.

To maintain the principle of part-time flexible studies, clinical placements can be carried out over an extended period of time.

What you will learn

A nurse works with people and focuses on how illness and treatment affect the patient’s life and quality of life. Topics such as health, vitality for life, coping and everyday rehabilitation are therefore an important part of nursing education. 

As a nurse, you need a solid theoretical knowledge base. Fifty per cent of the study programme is an introduction to nursing science, natural science and social science knowledge areas, including nursing, anatomy/physiology, pharmacology, pathology and microbiology, psychology, pedagogy, clinical communication, ethics, and leadership and administration. 

Great emphasis is placed on integrating and using theory from various knowledge areas in skills training and clinical practice. We have a strong collaboration with the local authorities targeted by this study programme. Upon completion of your studies, you will therefore have nursing skills that are in demand for rural nurses.

We are known for our close and effective dialogue with our students throughout the course of their studies. We will facilitate active and self-directed learning processes with a high degree of collaborative learning, and the use of digital resources (videos, podcasts, websites, etc.) and digital tools.

This part-time study programme is 75% of the full-time programme over 4 years, which means you should expect to dedicate approximately 30 hours per week to your studies. We therefore recommend that you do not work more than 50% alongside your studies.

STKD6800 Neuro-insights: Data Science Approaches in Neuroscience I   (5 ECTS)

Stkd6810 neuro-insights: data science approaches in neuroscience ii  (10 ects).

Because most young researchers in life and health sciences do not have a solid quantitative background, they face difficulties when analyzing data independently. This difficulty represents a major drawback in research. Students waste time learning analytical methods by themselves that could be more quickly learned with proper instruction and support. Additionally, the lack of convention or standards in some fields is a source of confusion that slows the learning process. As consequence, the quality of insights and research productivity suffer. This course provides a comprehensive introduction to data science and big data applied to neuroscience research.

Its content is designed to train the participants in state-of-the-art techniques in data analysis and machine learning. This will enable the students to interact independently with the data and draw insights from them. The modules are organized so the participants have the opportunity to learn how to handle the most common data types (e.g., EEG, calcium imaging). Special attention is given to field-tested data management protocols, as they are critical for a fast transition from data acquisition to knowledge generation.

This is a hands-on course where the students will learn from implementing the analysis themselves with close supervision. The course will focus on case studies using data from real experiments; advanced students may choose to use their own data. The students will develop understanding through constant presentation of their work and dialectical reflection over their choices, results, and interpretations.
