UNIVERSITY OF JOHANNESBURG
Recognised nationally and internationally,
the University of Johannesburg’s Faculty of
Health Sciences reflects one of the most unique
compositions within higher learning in South Africa
today. The Faculty houses not only programmes
traditionally associated with the Health Professions
Council of South Africa and the South African
Nursing Council, but also complementary health
disciplines and Sport and Movement Studies.
The Faculty offers innovative methods of training
with a focus on problem-based education, which
is underpinned by appropriate facilities ranging
from a well-equipped dissection facility to various
types of laboratories. An on-site Health Training
Centre ensures that students receive a wide range
of relevant experience under the supervision of
qualified practitioners, enhanced by placements in
relevant service-rendering facilities.
The Faculty’s specialised and highly trained lecturers
prepare students for careers in Chiropractic, Emergency
Medical Care, Environmental Health, Complementary
Medicine, Biomedical Sciences, Nursing, Optometry,
Podiatry, Medical Imaging and Radiation Sciences,
and Sport and Movement Studies.
