University of Agder (UiA) offers a master’s program in health informatics. This is a part-time interdisciplinary program with a problem-oriented approach. The master program was established in 2000 together with Aalborg University. The two first years (60 ECTS) was offered at UiA and the last year (30 ECTS) at Aalborg University. From 2010 the whole master program in health informatics has been offered at UiA.
Academically; the program benefits from the longstanding collaboration between Aalborg University and their overall problem-oriented approach [1]. The program has been developed and modified in a joint effort between the Faculties of Health and Sport Sciences; Engineering and Science and Economics and Social Sciences and builds on the academic traditions of the humanities; social sciences and technology.
