Faculty of Health Sciences was established in 2007 as part of the Novo mesto Higher Education Centre. It is an independent higher education institution which offers different study programmes: higher education at the first, second and third cycle.
The basic task and the priority of the Faculty is to educate graduates who will successfully and efficiently meet the needs of patients with various health problems in different stages of life and properly advise the patients about strengthening, maintaining and regaining health. The Nursing Care study programme includes extensive practical training regulated by the EU Directive, organised in collaboration with over 40 health and social care centres.

The graduates are educated to effectively carry out nursing care and organisational processes in order to increase the satisfaction of patients.
Students are provided with a friendly and modern educational environment, ensuring active cooperation with higher education teachers and associates.
