At the UOC Faculty of Health Sciences, we conduct research aimed at improving people's lives and contributing to the well-being of our communities. We work to understand, prevent and address challenges related to the environment, lifestyles and individual factors.

We develop research collaboratively across several strategic areas: food, physical activity, biomedicine, biomedical engineering, ageing, neuropsychology, women's health, digital health, planetary health, public health and social work in healthcare. See our infographic [in Catalan or Spanish] to learn more about this research model.

We leverage the UOC's technological and educational expertise to meet the lifelong learning needs of the healthcare sector. And we offer rigorous academic pathways for both those entering the sector and practising professionals looking to update their knowledge through flexible, high-quality education.

Our courses and programmes cover key disciplines such as food, nutrition and physical activity, biomedical engineering, speech and language therapy, digital health, planetary health and social work in healthcare.

We are committed to educating a new generation of professionals, researchers and managers capable of harnessing technology and knowledge management to transform the future of healthcare.
