The programme will provide competence for investigatory work in school, family, and handicap counselling, care for the elderly, and on health related issues with special emphasis on integration of physical and psychological health issues. The programme is especially relevant for these fields in multiethnic environments.

Particular attention to perceptual and motor development will be valuable for work on integration of people of all ages with different physical impairments into a broader society. Integration of physical and social aspects of human change processes is also important for work environment issues, such as man-machine interaction and age related issues of work integration.

The programme will also prepare for theoretical and applied research in these fields.
