What is the content of the course of studies?

The four-semester course is modular. It is divided into three groups of modules with the master’s thesis in the fourth semester. Students can complete the practical part of their studies with their employer or a cooperation partner.
The central focus is the scientific processing of relevant practical nursing care issues in the following areas of action:

– Design of care scenarios for people with gerontological care needs
– Design of supply scenarios for people with intense and complex nursing care requirements
– Design of supply scenarios for people with cancer and palliative care requirements

Students of the nursing care master’s degree course acquire skills to implement science-based nursing practice in a particular field of action, to transfer research results into nursing practice, for technical management and for initiating, monitoring and implementation of evaluation and research.

Students develop the ability to focus on the individual client perspective using their scientifically founded nursing practice. They are able to make evidence-based decisions and to bring their actions in line with ethical, social and scientific findings as well as to put the special situation of clients at the centre of these decisions. In addition, scientific preparation of nursing-practical issues are dealt with.
