Details

The Bachelor's programme "Nursing – dual variant" at FH Münster combines academic studies with practical training to become a nursing professional. Students acquire both theoretical and practical skills preparing them for demanding tasks in various healthcare areas. The dual approach promotes a close integration of studies and professional practice, allowing the learned content to be applied directly.

The study is divided into three main areas: Nursing and Health Sciences, Care Management, and Basics of relevant reference disciplines. During the first five semesters, the study is conducted part-time as a distance learning programme, complemented by six-day presence phases per semester. Students engage with topics such as health promotion, ethics, nursing theories, and care structures. They also gain solid knowledge in psychology, statistics, and care management methods such as case management or networking.

After completing the three-year vocational training, students deepen their knowledge in a part-time study for another three semesters. During this phase, they can choose from in-depth modules in counseling, quality management, or project management. Students can set individual priorities and complete their studies with a bachelor's thesis.

A special focus is placed on evidence-based nursing. Graduates are able to independently analyze nursing care needs, design and evaluate care processes. They also develop skills in patient counseling and the introduction of quality standards. Through practical training in cooperation with various healthcare facilities, they gain valuable experiences for their future career path.

During the study, students are supported by learning process guides. Close collaboration with instructors and other students is possible through the online learning platform. Additionally, the "Skills Lab" offers the opportunity to simulate realistic nursing situations in a protected environment and reflect on them together.

After graduation, graduates have various career opportunities. They can work in direct patient care, quality management, patient counseling, or discharge management. Furthermore, they have the opportunity to further academically qualify through advanced degree programmes.
