This bachelor's programme is aimed at experienced professionals in the health, nursing, or therapy sectors who wish to take on pedagogical responsibilities in training or further education. It is suitable for those who aspire to work as teachers at vocational schools, in adult education, in further education institutions, or as lecturers in healthcare programmes.

Admission – What professional requirements must you meet?

To be admitted to the bachelor's programme in Medical and Nursing Education, you must meet the following criteria:

• Completed training in a regulated health profession (e.g. geriatric care, health and nursing care, physiotherapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, midwifery/obstetric nursing, medical-technical assistance, and other recognized healthcare professions)
• Usually professional experience in the learned profession (the exact duration may vary depending on the federal state or school authority; it is recommended to have at least 1-2 years of practical experience after completing the training)
• General or subject-specific university entrance qualification (A-levels), technical college entrance qualification, or an equivalently recognized entry according to the university laws of the federal states (e.g. professional qualification with aptitude test possible)
• Additional state-specific requirements may apply for a teaching qualification at vocational schools (obtain information from the relevant Ministry of Culture or school authority)
• With sufficient previous experience, up to 55 credit points from the previous education can be recognized, shortening the study programme if desired

Applications are made online via the portal of the Carl Remigius Medical School. An individual examination of the admission requirements takes place; the provider's information and the state-specific regulations are decisive.

Personally, you should have an interest in educational work in healthcare, be willing to take on pedagogical tasks, and prepare for the transition into a teaching role. Social skills, patience, communication skills, and a reflective attitude in dealing with apprentices and different age groups are helpful. You should be prepared to adapt flexibly to new didactic methods and learn independently in a distance learning format. Responsibility and the ability for self-organization are important for the part-time study concept.
