The Faculty of Health is renamed
After 16 years with the name Health, the Victor Albeck building now says Det Sundhedsvidenskabelige Fakultet once again. The senior management team has also agreed to the addition of 'Sciences' to the faculty's English name 'Faculty of Health', so that it better covers what the faculty does and aligns with the names of similar faculties.
Health is changing its name and is now called Det Sundhedsvidenskabelige Fakultet in Danish and The Faculty of Health Sciences in English. This was announced by the faculty in a news release.
“The Faculty of Health Sciences is more precise and professionally comprehensive. The fact that we can also use the term 'Det Sundhedsvidenskabelige Fakultet' when speaking and writing in Danish means that we can maintain a simple and easy-to-understand term in Danish. This is in line with the practice at other universities, and is also easy for our partners and the general public to recognise," says Dean Anne-Mette Hvas.
The name change has come into effect, but it will be some time before the change is reflected everywhere across websites, cars, and the like, says Head of Communications at the Faculty of Health Sciences, Thune Korsager.
