The state-recognised PFH, which is reaccredited by the Science Council, is a private university that focuses on entrepreneurial thinking. It currently offers campus and distance learning courses in Management, Psychology/Business Psychology, Technology, User Experience Management & Design, and Healthcare Technology.
