Research-based education
All study programmes offered by the department are grounded in research and are delivered in close collaboration with healthcare services and municipal organisations. Scientific theory and research methodology constitute an integral component of the curriculum. Research-active academic staff within general practice, occupational therapy, physiotherapy, geriatrics, and nursing are extensively involved in the department’s educational activities, which are conducted in modern, purpose-built facilities. Faculty members are frequently leading researchers in their respective disciplines.
All academic staff at the department are required to have completed a minimum of ten weeks of formal higher education pedagogy courses. In addition, many faculty members hold joint positions within the healthcare sector, a factor that contributes significantly to the high quality and professional relevance of the education.
