A formula for success: theoretical knowledge + practical experience
The programme is built on three pillars.
Semesters 1–4
The basics
At the beginning of the programme, there is a clear focus on the fundamentals of nursing and learning about nursing’s various fields of practice.
Courses focus on caring for people with a range of health circumstances and at different stages of life. In parallel with nursing expertise, you will also develop your basic medical knowledge. And just as importantly, you will be introduced to health promotion and academic methods.
Semesters 1–6
Practical experience
Each semester, you will complete a practice placement lasting several weeks. Practical training accounts for 50% of the degree programme. The cornerstone of this is the fourth-semester practice placement consisting of approximately 600 hours of hands-on training. This gives you the opportunity to immediately apply the skills and expertise you have developed in your lectures.
Your professional training will give you experience in a variety of areas such as acute, long-term and mobile care, and you will become familiar with the public healthcare system. We provide you with support before and during your practice placements: we’ll help you to select your placements and offer you special coaching sessions.
Semesters 5 & 6
Advanced courses
Towards the end of your degree you will study familiar topics in more depth, as well as take a detailed look at efficient work processes. You will apply what you have learned during your degree and synthesise your knowledge of the different fields of nursing, for example when completing professional exercises and cases studies. These are based on realistic scenarios to simulate complex nursing situations and require you to tap into all of your professional resources. They encompass entire nursing cases from start to finish – to help you provide your future patients with outstanding care.
A particular highlight here in Krems: In the 5th and 6th semester you decide on an elective module and thus have the opportunity to specialise further in your desired discipline. You can choose from Pflege für Kinder und Jugendliche (paediatric nursing care), Onkologische Pflege (oncological care), Pflege im Unfall- und Neuro-Rehabilitationsbereich (trauma and neuro-rehabilitation care) and Pflege in Krisenzeiten/Krisengebieten (nursing in times of crisis/crisis areas).
