Our vision is to help promote health.
We wish to
maintain and develop the University of Southern Denmark as a university with a visible, decisive influence on the development of the health care system and on public health.
We do this
- by communicating research results to the population, health care professionals and decision makers, and
- by teaching and researching at a high international level in areas which are relevant to public health and efficiency in the treatment of diseases.
Our strength lies
in research into public health and selected diseases that negatively impact the population, individual citizens and society, with the aim of understanding their
- biomedical basis
- incidence and development in the population and
- influence on the quality of life and functional capacity
by combining advanced biomedical and epidemiological research with research on health promotion, prevention, rehabilitation and methods of examination and treatment.
Also in quality development of a complete spectrum of health-orientated
- fundamental education at bachelor and master level
- further education at master level
which are all based on research, reflect society's need for education in an international perspective and make the knowledge and skills of the graduates visible.
And we seek cooperation where we can help promote change!
