Sammanfattning

Public health science has been an established subject within Swedish universities for two decades, all three levels of higher education. Over the years, the number of courses has varied and the subject is in 2017 available at 18 universities. At the undergraduate level there are nine programmes and at advanced level 18 different programmes, with each nine as master’s (60 credits) respectively and master’s programmes (120 credits). Postgraduate studies in the subject are conducted at ten universities. While there has been a decline in the number of students at undergraduate level, there has been a vigorous expansion in advanced and postgraduate level. The content of the education clearly reflects the interdisciplinary nature of the subject and its anchoring in epidemiology. Undergraduate studies show a broad alignment and the master programmes are available with several specific foci, including Global Health, Health Economics and Epidemiology.
