Background
The Department of Clinical Studies in Obstetrics and Gynaecology was founded in 2014. Earlier, the training of midwives was performed by the Division of Midwifery of the Department of Nursing. Academic level training of nurses began through part-time courses in 1989/90; since 1990/91 a full-time training programme has been offered as well. Additional programmes have been introduced in recent years, including the training of midwives (2002) and a masters-level programme in nursing (2003).
The English language midwifery training programme was introduced in the 2011/12 academic year.
