This year Turiba University has expanded its study range with health care study programs, inviting everyone interested to study aesthetic cosmetology and therapeutic massage and become internationally sought-after and professionally educated specialists in the field of health care.

Two short-cycle professional higher education programs - aesthetic cosmetology and therapeutic massage - are currently offered in the Healthcare Studies program of Turiba University, and in the near future it is planned to offer nutrition, physiotherapy and other programs at bachelor's and master's level

Upon graduation from this study program, the graduate obtains a qualification as - beauty care specialist in cosmetology or masseur, and is also included in the register of medical practitioners, which opens a wide range of opportunities for professional activity. The curriculum is structured to integrate elements of beauty care, medicine, and business. This interdisciplinary approach ensures that students gain comprehensive knowledge and skills in both the medical and business domains simultaneously.

Marika Kaprano-Gederte, Head of the Healthcare Program at Turiba, outlines five key benefits of studying the program.

Turiba’s Aesthetic cosmetology and therapeutic massage program:

1. EXCELLENT TEACHERS AND SUPPORTIVE ENVIRONMENT

Teachers are our greatest asset. Our teachers are professionals in their field who develop their knowledge every day. Many of our teachers have been with us for 10-15 years. When you enter the premises of the Healthcare Faculty of Turiba, you can feel the creativity, respectful and accepting attitude, which is very important in the study process.

2. MODERN TECHNOLOGIES AND NEW INNOVATIONS.

Modern technologies are used in the study process. Instructors follow the latest innovations in beauty care, attend international exhibitions and other events related to this industry, thus students receive knowledge about the latest industry news and trends.

3. GRADUATES RETURN AS LECTURERS.

Currently, five lecturers who have previously been our students are lecturing in the Healthcare field. Graduates gain work experience and after some time return to the university as lecturers, continuing to provide their knowledge to future professionals. This is the greatest compliment for us, because it means that the graduate has appreciated the quality of our studies. The "Student in the Footsteps" event also helps us better understand our students and enhance the quality of our cooperation.

4. FLEXIBLE STUDY OPTIONS.

Each student can choose the most advantageous form of study. In this way, it is possible to combine studies with other daily activities. This is especially important for working students.

5. STUDY TRIPS.

We work with job and internship providers to organize tours of salons, SPA centers, and cosmetics factories. This helps students see the industry behind-the-scenes and understand the real work environment during their studies.
