Aufbau der Ausbildung

The Master’s program in Health Sciences at the University of Lucerne offers students from a wide range of disciplines the necessary knowledge and skills towards a comprehensive understanding of health, functioning, and disability. The program provides a broad background in health sciences from an interdisciplinary perspective. It focuses on describing, understanding, and improving the health of individuals, and the optimal response of society and health systems to the health needs of the population.

 The two-year Master’s program with 120 credits includes core courses in the principles of health sciences, advanced research methods, and academic and professional skills. Students will also have the opportunity to choose one of the following majors to get more in-depth knowledge depending on their professional interests and career direction.

Perspektiven

Doktorat / PhD

(Dr. phil.)
Following the Master course – if at least the grade 5 was achieved in the diploma – a research study programme can be completed. It allows students to intensify their earlier studies, grow into autonomous scientific reasearch and create in form of a dissertation a contribution to research on their own. The research study programme is ended with a promotion (Dr. phil.), consisting of a dissertation in the chosen subject and an oral examination. For the promotion or doctorate, the third study cycle, the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences has a graduate school on offer, which is a flexible and intensely supervised programme. Students who apply for a doctorate are automatically members of the graduate school and may use its course offer as well as supporting opportunities. Prospect doctorate students can find more detailed information on the website:  unilu.ch > Fakultäten > Kultur- und Sozialwissenschaftliche Fakultät.
