About the Master of HIV education

The Master of HIV is the first education ever that combines teaching in clinical and organisational management of HIV. The flexible degree programme is for all those with a clinical, public health or organisational management interest in HIV/AIDS prevention, treatment and care. 

International programme

All teaching is in English and the Master of HIV programme targets International students. 
The Masters' focus is on HIV in an international perspective, however, because of the complex interplay between HIV, other diseases and their management teaching is generic and cross-disciplinary. This makes the Masters education applicable to people in a multitude of working positions.

Persons with other related educational backgrounds are also invited to submit an application.

  • contribute on a scientific background and at an academic level to the improvement in treatment and care of PLHIV
  • participate in the planning, execution and evaluation of preventive and sustainable measures based on accepted policies and standards
  • analyse HIV-related issues including the individual, social, cultural and political context
