Bachelor of Science and professional admission as a nursing specialist

What is the content of the course of studies?

The focus of the study program is on acquiring the skills to organize, design and manage highly complex care situations in different nursing settings. Additionally, it promotes a professional attitude towards perspectives, roles, and concepts of the nursing profession, such as competencies for interdisciplinary collaboration or the motivation to actively shape the transformation process in nursing healthcare. The program particularly focuses on three areas of expertise:

(1) nursing and nursing science expertise – This area aims at handling highly complex nursing situations in acute and long-term care.

(2) Expertise in counseling and guidance – This includes direct nursing situations as well as working in interdisciplinary teams or in training and further education.

(3) Systemic and interdisciplinary expertise. This involves developing competencies to enhance effectiveness in organizational and care-related therapeutic processes, e.g. in the context of family-centered long-term care.

Where can I find employment later on?

Graduates of the program have access to a wide range of nursing fields – from traditional facilities in inpatient acute and long-term care, such as hospitals, nursing homes, specialized care and rehabilitation centers, and outpatient care, to innovative concepts such as medical care centers. There are also interesting fields of work for academically qualified nursing professionals in organizations such as welfare associations, development aid or social insurance providers.

In what fields/subject areas can I work?

Trained nurses with an academic degree in Applied Nursing Science are qualified to provide direct patient care. Here they are characterized by communicative and systemic skills in counseling and guidance, as well as in designing nursing care arrangements. At the same time, they contribute to the further advancement of nursing by supporting empirical nursing research, transferring research results into nursing practice, evaluating the quality of care and support, and much more.

Additionally, there is also the possibility of professional specialization through further training (e.g. specialist nursing, psychiatric nursing or anaesthesia and intensive care nursing). The Bachelor’s degree can also be followed by a Master’s program, e.g. in Advanced Practice Nursing or Community Health Nursing, which provides expanded skills in the practice of curative activities. This opens up new career oppurtunities in nursing science and research, nursing education, nursing management and in nursing policy.

The course covers a wide range of topics: management theories, business know-how and background information on the structure and organisation of rescue service systems. In addition, several study modules aim to promote personal and social skills as a modern manager. A particular advantage is the part-time nature of the degree programme.

Certification as a hygiene officer, safety officer and internal auditor for occupational health and safety management can increase your chances of a successful career start in many fields of activity.

In what fields/subject areas can I work?

The demand for academically qualified managers in the emergency services is high. The demands on rescue service management have been increasing for years, and the development of target-oriented solutions is becoming ever more complex: increasing cost pressure, demographic change and changes in operational procedures are just a few keywords of great importance. Rescue managers are urgently needed who can put their expertise into practice and not only manage the rescue service, but also develop it further in an innovative and scientifically sound manner.

In order for aid organisations and rescue service companies to remain competitive in the long term, they need managers who have in-depth knowledge of the organisation and the overall system of the German rescue services, have business expertise and can assume socially competent personnel responsibility.

In particular, the roles of the scholar, the communicator and the collaborator are addressed throughout and reflected on during the course.

The goals of the Master’s programme in Medical and Health Education are to enable students to teach independently, based on research and evidence, as well as to work practically on a scientific basis in all dimensions of higher education teaching and educational management in the tertiary education sector.
