The modules in the first semester teach the basics of health and nursing sciences in order to build up specialist nursing skills and knowledge in the first step. Specific topics taught here include health promotion, the nursing process, evidence-based nursing, human anatomy and support for activities of daily living in seminars and practical teaching units.
Modules in the second semester build on these basics; further nursing phenomena are discussed and related nursing skills are taught, in-depth nursing science theories are developed and further physiological and pathophysiological expertise is acquired.
In semesters 3-6, specific nursing contexts are developed, reflecting the different and generalist nature of specific nursing contexts. The content of the study programme enables students to provide nursing care to people of all ages. Modules in these semesters provide insights into specific nursing contexts (perioperative nursing, nursing in obstetrics and paediatrics, psychiatric and neurological nursing, nursing of the elderly, nursing of people with oncological diseases); however, the fundamentally generalist approach is taken into account in all modules and extends systematically throughout the entire university studies in accordance with the age phases (child/adult/elderly and very elderly).
In semesters 7 and 8, the written, oral and practical parts of the state examination are carried out in addition to the Bachelor's thesis.
