Teaching : the subject of health

In the Master's programme Vocational Education in Health, students deepen their knowledge of vocational education and specialised knowledge and are qualified to teach the subject of health at different types of schools.

The study programme builds on the Bachelor's programme in Vocational Education in Health and is offered in cooperation with the University of Kassel. In addition to the "classic" variant, which opens the door to the second phase of teacher training (the period of practical training) and concludes with a Master of Education, there is also the option of taking the second subject Nursing from the Bachelor's degree and obtaining a Master of Arts at the end of university studies.

The lead-management responsibility for this Master's programme lies with the University of Kassel. Therefore, please contact them directly with your enquiry.
