The university plans to offer bachelor’s degrees in dermatology or related fields, as well as master’s and doctoral programs with specialisations in dermatopathology, dermatosurgery, and paediatric dermatology.

Additionally, the university will offer continuing professional development through short courses, workshops, conferences for healthcare professionals, and certificate programs in specific dermatology areas, such as skin cancer diagnosis and treatment.
