Overview
Our goal with this program is to train professionals in the western region of Hungary who are qualified of planning and participating in health promotion and health protection projects in the areas of education, healthcare, and the workplace. In addition, they will be able to provide assistance individually or in groups in preventing, processing, and resolving psychological crises, burnout, stress situations, and other challenges that may arise from disease-related life situations.
There is an increasing need for professionals in health preservation and development, as well as in prevention and rehabilitation, who can address the prevention and treatment of physical illnesses and related mental health issues from a health-centered perspective. The new program will represent progress in professional training by incorporating new specialized subjects into the curriculum, allowing for a deeper exploration of these topics.
Students have the opportunity to continue their studies in doctoral programs.
