Marie Cederschiöld University College (before Ersta Sköndal Bräcke University College) (Swedish: Ersta Sköndal Bräcke högskola) is a private Swedish institution for higher education and research.[1] The university college has departments for education in nursing, social work, theology and psychotherapy as well as research within the field of social science, welfare rights, health care science and ethics, palliative care, diaconal research, organizational and work-life ethics and psychotherapy research.
The aims of the research programme are in line with the university college's diaconal history. In 1851, the first nurse training course in Sweden was launched by Marie Cederschiöld under the auspices of Ersta diakoni. The first socially oriented programme at national level began at the turn of the last century in the form of diaconal training at the Stora Sköndal Foundation.
Today Marie Cederschiöld University College is owned by Ersta diakoni, Stora Sköndal Foundation, Bräcke diakoni and Stockholms sjukhem divided into two campuses located in Södermalm, Stockholm and Stora Sköndal, south of Stockholm.
The historical background has resulted in human health, welfare, and vulnerability being the focus of study and explains how research fields have developed and given the university its specific profile.
