General Information
Academy of Health Sciences is an academic, not-for-profit, private  institution of higher education established in 2011 in Syria with the charter granted by the Council of Higher Education. The stated aim of the academy is to work in close partnership with the national, regional and international academic entities and institutions on the bases of mutual understanding in addition to provide high education medical studies for students. Currently, Academy of Health Sciences has been running School of Paramedics, School of Nursing and School of Physical Therapy. The academy has adopted a curriculum that emphasizes on academic health and academic teaching.
Mission and Objectives

Due to the difficult local financial and economic situation the Academy decided that it would charge no fees to its students. Such a strategy would help draw the brightest and most committed to learn and succeed. Students would be admitted, receive all textbooks and courses, have accommodation at the campus, graduate and receive their degrees without paying anything. In the time of war providing education is giving hope beyond the medical relief that we emphasize on, a responsibility we carry towards the future.
