The social care component focuses on areas such as law, social policy, and, in particular, social work within the healthcare sector. Students also take courses in the social sciences, including psychology, sociology, philosophy, and ethics. Graduates are well-versed in healthcare and social legislation, equipped to address complex social situations of clients with disabilities, and capable of providing social counselling. They find employment in state and non-state healthcare facilities, long-term care hospitals, infant care centres, hospices, day care centres, public administration, and non-profit, charitable, and educational organisations.
Thanks to the integration of healthcare and social care, clients benefit from comprehensive support that addresses their medical and social needs.
