Education at bachelor and master levels

Institute for Environmental Medicine (IMM) is responsible for the master's programme in toxicology and the master's programme in work and health. IMM is responsible for and also participates in courses within the medical programme, bachelor's programme in biomedicine, master's program in biomedicine and the master's program in public health sciences.

Master's programme in Toxicology

The programme was one of the first toxicology programmes in the world when it started in 1976. The programme is unique in its two-year cohesive focus on toxicology and human health.

The programme gives students an in-depth knowledge of the broad and interdisciplinary toxicological field. The programme focuses on human health and prepares students for either a research or professional career and provides a solid platform for doctoral education in toxicology-related fields or employment in risk/safety assessment-related areas in the public sector or in industry.

Master's programme in Work and Health

This one-year Master programme was developed after an initiative of the Swedish Government, concerning the education of personnel within the Occupational Health Services.

The programme, which runs in Swedish, has approximately 80 students divided into three tracks: Behavioural Sciences, Ergonomics, and Occupational Safety and Health Management. The students have (depending on track) different backgrounds, such as physical therapy, occupational therapy, psychology, behavioural science, and nursing.
