Faculty of Health

The Faculty of Health includes the Schools of Medicine, Pharmacy, Midwifery and Nursing. We are well known for our leading-edge simulation centre located at the nearby University Hospital. We offer a wide range of training programmes aimed at all Health professionals.

Our 300 teachers, researchers and physicians are involved in clinical research and basic science. The campus includes state-of-the-art research facilities and we have four joint units in partnership with the French National Centre for Scientific Research (CNRS) and the French National Institute of Health and Medical Research (INSERM). The fields of expertise are immuno-hemato-oncology, vascular and mitochondrial biology, and vectorization and therapeutic targeting.

We benefit from a large worldwide network of partner universities, allowing international students to undertake courses and/or carry out clinical rotations at the University Hospital under Erasmus+ or other exchange agreements. Each summer, the University of Angers welcomes over 100 foreign students for various intensive programmes, including the Research, Vascular, Primary care and Simulation in Healthcare Summer schools, all four taking place at the Faculty of Health.

"The Faculty of Health was created in 2015 from the merging of the Faculties of Pharmacy and Medicine. Our Faculty has grown further with the addition of the Schools of Midwifery and Nursing. It is a dynamic and innovative institution with 5,000 students and 300 teachers, researchers, and physicians (clinical fellows, associate professors, full professors).

We offer cutting-edge training programmes in Health combining hands-on activities and formal courses. Our ambition is to make sure that students receive the best education and opportunity to meet both their personal and vocational goals. With more than 45 international partners, we welcome 50 students from 20 different countries each year and we organise several summer schools with international speakers".
