The bachelor degree programme for registered nurses takes 2.5 years to complete. Teaching takes place two days per week in the form of classroom teaching during the semester.

In addition, several block weeks of up to two weeks form part of the training. The course structure allows students to pursue a part-time job in nursing (up to 3 days a week).

The direct practical implementation of what has been learned is part of the bachelor degree programme. The clinical placement module must be completed during the first three semesters of your studies and takes place at your regular workplace. The clinical placement module is worth 30 ECTS credits.

Building on your knowledge and experiences, the bachelor degree programme enables you to master the current and future career challenges in nursing so that you can take on demanding nursing duties in different subject areas and for people of all ages. You assume a crucial role in the treatment process. Patients and their relatives will directly benefit from your newly acquired competencies.

During your studies you will acquire competencies in seven different roles:

• As a communicator, you facilitate the building of trusting relationships and selective sharing of information.
