    FH Campus Wien is now the largest university of applied sciences for health in Austria. Since being the first university of applied arts in Austria to establish a bachelor's degree program in nursing already in 2008, we now possess extensive expertise and a large network of partners. This includes the University of Vienna. We developed the bachelor's degree program with them as part of a teaching cooperation. Important partners from the industry include the Vienna Healthcare Group, with whom we work closely to organize our extensive internships, and the Vinzentinum Wien. The near future holds great potential for multi-site research projects. We also pay close consideration to science and research as we continually develop our the content of the degree program. Practical relevance is also guaranteed at our Campus Lecture evenings, which are open to all and feature contributions from prominent experts.

    The degree program combines science with extensive practical experience, which makes it possible for you to earn the legally recognized professional qualification for upper grade services in health care and nursing by completing the program. Nursing based on scientific knowledge, that is the difference between the degree program and a certificate from a traditional vocational school system. Evidence-based care is the foundation that allows you to offer people the best care possible while at the same time conserving resources. Thus, as a graduate you will be able to follow scientific developments, critically question them and, in individual cases, implement them in your professional life. However, this alone is not enough to implement evidence-based measures in nursing. It is important to recognize what is feasible for the patients and their personal environment, and what the organization allows. You will be able to take all of this into consideration with your nursing experience in order to make the best decision for the patient in the end.

    Your degree program is oriented towards international standards, is practically relevant and scientifically based. Besides technical-methodical scientific skills, you will also acquire social skills, communication skills and self-competence. In its methodical approach the degree program promotes project, problem and action-oriented learning.

    • You will learn about nursing theories and the nursing process as well as about health care and nursing for special target groups and in different settings. This includes providing care for people with chronic illnesses as well as providing support for family members and other relations. A major part of the education includes general and special medical basics as well as nursing science. Knowledge of social and human sciences, such as psychology and sociology, as well as education and health care sciences provide a holistic understanding of health and illness.
    • The social and personal human background of the people is important, particularly in counseling and communication. Counseling techniques are taught as well as conversational skills, conflict resolution and crisis communication.
    • Furthermore, you will learn about organization, ethics and law. Management in the health sector, structures and mechanisms of the health service as well as quality and project management and informatics are among the organization-related contents.
    • Theoretical and practical courses are well-balanced during your studies. In the fifth semester, you will complete an internship semester.
