Welcome to the College of Health Sciences at the University of Zimbabwe. I trust that you will find our site informative – whether you are a student seeking information about undergraduate degrees or postgraduate study and research opportunities, or a member of the public or a potential collaborator. See Also: University of Zimbabwe Intake.
The College is home to 21 teaching departments, one School and an Institute of Continuing Health Education that offer a wide variety of educational, research and career options within the context of health care.
As a profession, health service is enormously rewarding – from bringing new lives into the world, to rehabilitating accident victims and performing lifesaving surgery. It takes hard work and dedication to become a competent pharmacist, physiotherapist, occupational therapist, nurse, dentist, medical laboratory scientist, radiographer or doctor.
The path of the healthcare professional is not an easy one, but the rewards by far outweigh the disadvantages. You have the satisfaction of knowing that you are caring for and making people feel better – helping them to recover or live more comfortably with their condition.
The College of Health Sciences is committed to the training of Health Care Delivery personnel to meet the health needs of the people of Zimbabwe. Training is geared towards primary health care with emphasis on a preventive rather than curative approach.
As an institute of higher learning, the College takes academic excellence as the hallmark of its existence. To that extent, the College encourages the promotion and enhancement of science through relevant research.
Vision
To be a referenced teaching, training, research and international leader in Africa and beyond in evidence based training, innovative student learning and health care delivery.
Mission Statement
To provide a conducive environment for evidence based, high quality, community oriented and community driven training and learning of health professionals. To be a clinical and research centre of excellence and source of high quality health consultancy services.
