The course is divided into individual modules, which impart the knowledge-based collection and identification of the individual care requirements, the planning and implementation of care based on scientific findings and individual case comprehension, the organization and design and management of care processes as well as overarching targeted interventions, especially nursing, communicative, psychosocial and ethical expertise. Furthermore, the study is divided into lectures which scientifically qualify the students for the many responsibilities of nursing support and introduce application-oriented working methods into the essential social, natural and behavioral science reference disciplines of care (medicine, psychology, sociology, education, law and politics). Students get a background understanding of the social and healthcare system and their political governance, gain scientific expertise to support applied care research, and basic knowledge of health-related case and process management. The curriculum is taught in different locations.

The teaching programme is realised at different locations. In the theory semesters, the courses take place in the Faculty of Economics and Social Sciences at the Hamburg University of Applied Sciences. In addition, there are practical units in the Skills Lab. The practical semesters take place in cooperating health care facilities in and around Hamburg.

The educational institutions then automatically contact the university; no separate application to the university is necessary! Other requirements: At least a two-week nursing internship and medically fit to be able to carry out a nursing profession.

In what fields/subject areas can I work?

Graduates are prepared in giving professional care in partial inpatient (day-care), inpatient and outpatient healthcare facilities. The qualification profile of the course is broad, allowing for flexible entry into the profession, according to students’ individual interests. Graduates are qualified to identify care needs and provide nursing care services to people of all ages, from infants to the elderly. Students are specifically prepared to systematically pursue different nursing directions, which include health-promoting, preventive, therapeutic, rehabilitative, palliative tasks as well as dignified end-of-life care. As an academically trained nurse, graduates have the responsibility to purposefully guide less skilled nurses, also to include lay caregivers and caregiving relatives in the care process, and to monitor their actions. Nursing work is now performed in cooperation with many other health professions, in close cooperation with, among others, doctors, physiotherapists, speech therapists, occupational therapists and psychotherapists.
