Alle TermineNursing & health care as a field of work: crisis-proof, promising, dynamic and designable!
The degree program takes account of the overall increase in demand for academically qualified nursing professionals, which is now also growing in this country. Nursing professionals trained in this way make an important contribution to the well-founded further development and safeguarding of the future of direct nursing practice, which is confronted, among other things, with increasingly complex nursing situations. For this reason, the study program conveys the practical and theoretical contents of health care and nursing training in an innovative manner, as well as additional, central nursing and scientific competencies.
The nursing B.A. program offers taster lectures.
You can attend lectures without obligation and without registration on the following dates:
- Course "Gerontological Basics": 14.03., 21.03., 28.03., 04.04., 18.04., 25.04., 02.05., 09.05., 16.05., 23.05., 06.06., 13.06., 20.06., 27.06.2023 in each case from 08:00 to 09:30 in room A316/317 (A-Building, Leibnizstraße 10, Weingarten).
Following the taster lecture, a guided tour of the nursing laboratory is possible.
Training and study in only 4 1/2 years!
The study program is divided into two sections: The first section (1st to 6th semesters) is primarily dedicated to professional training in health care/nursing. For this purpose, students form a course group at the health academy and are individually accompanied by reference teachers. Theoretical instruction, including practical exercises, comprises 2,100 hours, which take place in the form of block weeks. In the periods in between, practical phases of several weeks (2,500 hours) are to be completed in the training clinic (see below), but also in other facilities (e.g.: outpatient nursing service, retirement home, hospice, rehabilitation facility, etc.). Achievements made during this time are already credited to the study program, so that, for example, an internship semester, which is common in Bachelor's degree programs, is not required. At the same time, there are weekly events at the university, which in turn count towards the healthcare/nursing training. The services rendered are credited to both the study program and the training. After three years or 6 semesters, the written, practical and oral final examination (nursing exam) takes place, the successful passing of which includes the state professional license in health care/nursing and the admission to the second study stage (7th to 9th semester). It then takes place exclusively in the form of a course of study, expands the competencies acquired during training to include (specialist) scientific components and ends with the bachelor's thesis. A simultaneous professional activity (part-time) as a nursing specialist is recommended and possible in the second study stage; however, it is not mandatory.
Diverse career opportunities
The fields of work for graduates lie in all nursing sectors equally (inpatient, day-care or outpatient care) and here above all in the care of people with complex care needs and the further development of direct care. Other possible fields of work include advising/training patients and their relatives, quality and project management, participation in the development and introduction of new nursing concepts, and nursing science research. In addition to all nursing/health care facilities, employers may include health/care insurance companies and nursing support centers.

Semester fee
Each semester , a semester fee is due for all students upon enrollment or re-registration. This is charged at a similar rate by all universities in Germany.
Composition and amount of the fee
Fees for international students and for second degree studies
In Baden-Württemberg, there has been a tuition fee for international students (non-EU citizens) and a second-study fee since the winter semester 2017/2018. Thus, in some cases, a tuition fee must be paid in addition to the semester fee.
Prior to enrollment, applicants from non-EU countries or applicants for a second degree will receive a form to assess whether a tuition fee obligation actually exists.
The amounts and detailed information can be found under Finances.
