The provision of health and care services has become more complex, costly and intensive. It must be provided in ever shorter timeframes, in increasingly complex organisations and beyond their borders, and take account of changing social conditions. The ageing population, fewer births, migration and ethnic change are just some of the factors that indicate changing care needs. Furthermore, the possibilities for family care are decreasing. This is why highly qualified healthcare professionals have a future - all the more so if they use scientifically sound measures whose quality is monitored. With a nursing degree programme, we are preparing you to make an important contribution to overcoming this challenge and to help shape the healthcare management of tomorrow.

Course hours

Classroom events at the university alternate with phases of self-study. These are covered both with conventional teaching/learning materials and with e-learning. Time and location-independent learning is thus ensured to a large extent. The Saxon school vacations are lecture-free. This ensures a good compatibility of family and studies.

The Bachelor's program takes into account the special situation of working students by limiting attendance times at the university to two weekends per month and a one-week attendance phase (block event) at the end of the semester. As a rule, the attendance events take place twice a month on Fridays from 17:00 to 21:00 and on Saturdays from 08:30 to 14:30. The monthly attendance time thus comprises 24 course hours (of 45 minutes each). A separate schedule is prepared for each semester. The dates of the attendance times are known early and in advance, so that one's own professional activities can be planned well.

The combination of theory and practice is an elementary component of the study concept. Through your parallel professional activity, the opportunity for practical application of your acquired theoretical knowledge from the study of vocational education is already integrated, so you do not need to complete external internships. Our practice-oriented teaching will take up application examples from your everyday professional life in practice transfer and reflection seminars.

Degree and career prospects

Upon successful completion of the program, you will receive the internationally recognized Bachelor of Arts in Nursing & Health Care Management (B.A.). Depending on the personal focus of your studies and your existing training in nursing and healthcare, graduates will find a wide range of employment opportunities:

  • in the management of hospitals as nursing service managers, deputy nursing service managers, department managers, ward managers, area managers, group managers
  • in the management of outpatient, day-care and full inpatient facilities as head of nursing service, head of department, head of ward, head of area, head of group, head of residential area

  • in the administration of health care facilities, e.g. in controlling, human resources, quality management, logistics, marketing, purchasing.

Depending on one's own focus (elective modules), activities in the area of project development and work are also conceivable.

In addition, the degree qualifies the student to take up further master's studies.
