A good life for all. We understand people’s well-being and the possibilities of the welfare society.

Changes in demographics have a direct impact on the social and health care sector. In a welfare society, it is important to support children and young people, as well as the older adults.

Novia University of Applied Sciences develops and co-creates innovative service models and methods to promote health and welfare in society, together with working life, organisations and social and health care professionals.

We work within all areas of society, from the individual to working life.
