Overview

Lovisenberg Diaconal University College, established more than a century ago as a nursing school, has grown into a leading institution in the fields of Nursing and Occupational Therapy. Established by the Deaconess House in Lovisenberg, LDUC has grown to accommodate approximately 1,400 students annually in its Bachelor’s, Master’s, and PhD level programs. With its small size and focus on specific fields, the university not only promotes good learning and research conditions but fosters a tightly-knit community of faculty and students.

LDUC operates under the wing of the Lovisenberg Diaconal Hospital, propelling it to encompass excellence in healthcare and education.
