About Lovisenberg Diaconal University College
Lovisenberg Diaconal University College (Lovisenberg diakonale høgskole - LDH) is Norway’s oldest and most prestigious specialized higher education institution dedicated to nursing education, health sciences, and diaconal practice. Established in 1868 by Cathinka Guldberg—Norway’s pioneering first deaconess and nurse educator—LDH laid the historical foundation for professional nursing in Scandinavia. Located on the serene Lovisenberg campus in the central St. Hanshaugen district of Oslo, LDH is directly co-located with Lovisenberg Diaconal Hospital (Lovisenberg Diakonale Sykehus), enabling an unparalleled degree of clinical integration between academic scholarship, state-of-the-art medical simulation, and frontline patient care. Accredited as a specialized university college (vitenskapelig høyskole) by the Norwegian Agency for Quality Assurance in Education (NOKUT), LDH educates approximately 1,200 undergraduate and postgraduate students. Its academic portfolio encompasses a top-ranked Bachelor in Nursing (Bachelor i sykepleie) as well as advanced Master of Science degree programmes in Advanced Practice Nursing (MAKS), Intensive Care Nursing (MAKIN), Nurse Anesthesia, Operating Room Nursing (MAKOP), Neonatal Nursing (MAKNY), and Mental Health and Substance Abuse Care (MAPRA). Steeped in values of human dignity, compassion (caritas), and professional excellence (scientia), LDH graduates are among the most sought-after healthcare leaders and clinical specialists in the Nordic healthcare system.
