Starting in the winter semester 2025/26: Bachelor of Nursing (B.Sc.)
Our new Bachelor of Nursing (B.Sc.) degree program integrates academic education with hands-on practical experience. It prepares students to deliver modern, evidence-based care to people of all ages in acute, long-term, inpatient, and outpatient settings. This forms the foundation for professional nursing practice.
The dual, undergraduate degree program leads to a professional qualification: After eight semesters, you will earn the academic degree Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.) and simultaneously obtain the state-recognized professional qualification as a nursing specialist.
