- develop scientific knowledge in the areas subject to study, especially Nursing, Midwifery, Physiotherapy, and Urgent Medical Care
- prepare graduates to take an active and professional part in health care in all its forms, in order for them to protect and promote civic health in regions and communities
- accept directives of the European Union in undergraduate study for health care workers earning their basic qualification, so that they may receive an education compatible with the education of health care workers in Europe, and that they may attend student exchanges.
In order to meet these goals, the Faculty will cooperate with other faculties of similar focus and mission, both at home and abroad.
