Faculty of Health and Occupational Studies

The faculty offers many exciting programmes in which interest in people is the focus – in terms of programmes, individual courses as well as in commissioned programmes.

Interesting research is being conducted in several areas: Musculoskeletal Injuries, Public Health, Care and Health, Psychology and Social Work. A strong research environment - CBF, the Centre for Musculoskeletal Research - has a central role in the research profile.

Collaboration takes place in several ways, such as in commissioned programmes for professionals, research projects and development projects.
