The first doctoral study programme in Nursing Care in Slovenia

The development of the Faculty of Health Sciences, University of Maribor, since its foundation has been very intense. The Faculty follows the trends of modern education, scientific research and professional work in nursing and health care.

Alongside with the undergraduate study in the field of nursing care, the Faculty also developed master’s degree programs in study fields of nursing care (Nursing Care, Emergency Situations in Health Care, Gerontological Nursing Care, Preventive Nutrition and Clinical Dietetics), Bioinformatics (in partnership with the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science Informatics, University of Maribor), and, in partnership with the Faculty of Organizational sciences, University of Maribor, the study programme Management in Health and Social Organization.

As it is evident from the University of Maribor mission and vision statement, our goal is to become a leading and recognizable institution, comparable with educational institutions in the EU.

Up to now, it was not possible to prepare and implement a doctoral 3rd-cycle study programme in the field of nursing care in Slovenia. Many higher education institutions in the field of nursing care in Europe are facing the same problem. Until now, students and graduates who wanted to continue their scientific research path in the field of nursing care had no such possibilities.
