About the Faculty
At the Faculty of Health Sciences and Medicine, health isn't just a field of study – it's a commitment to the future.
We are dedicated to addressing the evolving health needs of society through an interdisciplinary and person-centered approach of health. We are convinced: True progress in healthcare does not arise from treating diseases in isolation but from a deep understanding that health is the foundation for a fulfilling and self-determined life.
Being healthy means being involved in the community, working, being creative and growing personally. This conviction shapes what we do and is reflected in the comprehensive approach of our faculty. The integration of scientific disciplines - above all health sciences and medicine - characterizes us and enables us to pioneer new paths and shape the healthcare of tomorrow.
Research
In our research, we address key societal challenges such as demographic change, rising healthcare costs and the shortage of specialists. In doing so, we are guided by overarching goals such as ensuring a high-quality and sustainable healthcare system, the targeted and beneficial use of digital technologies and the promotion of evidence-based healthcare policy.
