The program is offered by the University of Greenland, Aarhus University, and Greenland Institute of Natural Resources in autumn 2016 in Nuuk, and hosted by University of Greenland as well as the Greenland institute of Natural Resources. The course package is aimed at students with a background in health science and natural sciences.

  1. Health Science in Greenland, Health Service Research & Telemedicine and Ethics in small populations.
  2. Arctic Environmental Medicine: Reproduction and Cancer and Risk Assessment
  3. Long range transport of contaminants to the Arctic
  4. Mineral resources in the Arctic: Environmental impacts and technologies
  5. Project training

In order to facilitate the incorporation of the students in a master program the institutions offer a full semester of minimum 30 ECTS. This way the student will not have to supplement with courses at their home university in order to fulfil the 30 ECTS demand for a semester. The program suggested here will also provide the option of choosing between different courses.

A limited number of spaces are available in the program; to apply, please send a motivational application to Health@uni.gl.

Deadline: Extended deadline June 1, 2016.

The program is an activity of the UArctic Thematic Network on Health and Well-being in the Arctic.
