VID Specialized University was established on 1 January 2016 after the merger between four diaconal university colleges. The purpose was to create a larger, better and more effective institution within the private, non-profit segment of the university- and university college sector in Norway.
VID offers programmes of professional studies within nursing, occupational therapy, social education, family therapy, diakonia and theology, in addition to a number of other programmes at Bachelor, Master and continuing education levels. VID offers two PhD programmes: Diakonia, Values and Professional Practice and Theology and Religion.
Each research group consists of: a research group leader; academic staff in main, adjunct or combined positions; PhD students; master students and bachelor students; as well as technical and administrative personnel, where applicable.
The research groups will normally consist of at least three people, and should normally not exceed 25. The research groups will also be active research environments for the PhD students and for staff in competence development (associate professor, lecturer, professor). The groups will contribute to good research, development of individual projects and increased publication of results in the relevant research fields.
Below you will find scholarships related to VID Specialized University. Distinction can be made between scholarships provided by the University and those provided by independent providers.

The study was developed to discover how we can meet sosial and health issues in an aging society. The program gave a good overview about an academic view on political, social and health challenge. Unfortunately, the program changed 2 times and is by now no longer available. I would have liked to studie in groups, wich was not supported, and only few students finished this program with a master degree. There is a need on studies which combine sosial and health issues linked to the aging population.
