About us
The Faculty of Health and Social Sciences is an institution distinctively focused on health and social care. The faculty has a unique position in the Czech Republic due to its interconnection of health care and social topics. Studying at the faculty is closely linked with practice and its aim is to prepare graduates who understand and apply a holistic approach that looks at a person as a whole and ensures that both the body and the mind receive support. As a result of the harmonious combination of these perspectives, the faculty trains professionals who understand their profession as a mission.
Each USB faculty offers courses in English and other foreign languages for exchange students as well.

Additional information
The Faculty places great emphasis on practical learning – it cooperates with respected health and social organizations, including hospitals and other important institutions. In 2020, the Faculty opened its own Simulation Centre for Health-oriented Fields where the students learn all the practical skills they need in a safe and comfortable environment.
