International students
One of the strengths of the Graduate Program in Sexual Health is the establishment of an international academic community of sexologists and sexual health workers.
The Graduate Program in Sexual Health is based on global aims for healthy sexuality, sexual rights and sexual health and presented in a flexible distance mode (on-line). These features make the program particularly attractive for international students. Students can participate in the program wherever they are in the world. The opportunity to participate in on-line discussions with fellow students, lecturers and experts ensures that a true global perspective is achieved.
The courses have been developed by an international multi-disciplinary, multi-professional team with a strong academic background. The program thereby provides an internationally relevant, multi-disciplinary learning experience in human sexuality and sexual health. The program has been designed from the viewpoint that sexual health is an essential part of holistic health and wellbeing. Sexual health care is addressed from the perspectives of preventative and acute care, as well as rehabilitation.
