Paramedical School
This school was established in 1986. Previously, other educational units of the university - such as the faculties of Medicine, Pharmacy and Laboratory Sciences, the Technical school, and the Higher School of Dental and Mouth Hygiene - offered paramedical courses. All paramedical courses held in other departments have now been transferred to the School of Paramedical Sciences. As well as holding courses during the day, evening courses are also offered.
