A formula for success: theoretical knowledge + practical experience
The programme is built on three pillars.
Semesters 1–4
The core subjects
Learn to communicate interprofessionally, efficiently manage interfaces within the healthcare system, and lead multidisciplinary teams. By collaborating with professionals from various disciplines, you will develop integrated solutions for complex challenges in healthcare and prevention.
Effectively integrate digital systems and health-related innovations into practice to optimise healthcare, health promotion, and rehabilitation. Participatory methods and the involvement of end users and patients in the development of new concepts and innovations ensure that solutions are both practical and effective.
Acquire in-depth scientific competencies to develop evidence-based solutions and actively contribute to the advancement of the healthcare sector. You will learn to formulate research questions, conduct studies, and communicate and apply their findings in interdisciplinary contexts.
This programme prepares you for the challenges of demographic change, chronic diseases, and digitalisation. The focus is on evidence-based solutions, independent project implementation, and the development of multiprofessional interventions to improve healthcare and the quality of life of patients.
Semesters 1–4
The practical elements & specialisations
Throughout the programme, our lecturers incorporate their professional experience into the teaching. Issues are discussed and addressed through case studies. You will also benefit from learning from your peers, who bring valuable insights from their professional experiences.
The core of the programme is the practical project, which spans all four semesters. This project involves problem identification, planning, implementation, and presentation of the completed work. Together with your patients, you will develop innovative solutions for real-life issues from your professional field or address future challenges.
Additionally, you will choose either a specialisation in Infant, Child and Adolescent Health or Demographic Change, Healthy Ageing & Globalisation. You will deepen your knowledge in one of these areas.
Semesters 1–4
The research
A significant aspect of the programme focuses on the development and deepening of skills in philosophy of science and research ethics. Alongside students from the master degree programme in Advanced Nursing Practice, you will apply various scientific methods, learn to plan research projects, and conduct clinical studies successfully. Additionally, you will work on presenting research findings in various settings.
A particular emphasis is placed on the tension between evidence-based practice, standardisation, and personalisation, as well as modern knowledge management. You will explore how to integrate research outcomes into your professional practice.
During your master thesis, you will conduct independent scientific work, applying your advanced and new skills to address research questions. The thesis may be completed in groups and can be related to the practical project. It is also possible to collaborate on existing studies as part of your master thesis.
