The International Master's Programme Palliative Care M.Sc. (PC) aims to develop the necessary palliative attitude in the context of practical work and the collection of empirical knowledge with regard to the growing proportion of older people as well as cancer and non-oncological diseases. In order to be able to adequately treat people with a highly complex symptom burden, as is the case in specialised palliative care, a university-anchored, science-based specialisation is required in addition to the primary qualification.
The three-semester consecutive application-oriented Master's programme PC M.Sc. with research components at the Hochschule Bremen appeals to a multi-professional and interdisciplinary group of participants.
Due to the so-called consecutive study programme, students can be officially enrolled, and the semester fees fall under the nationally funded study programmes.
Recognition by the Bremen Medical Association for CME points are guaranteed in many modules. Further education and training points for professional carers in accordance with SGB XI §11 can also be acquired in many modules.
Demographic trends in Germany mean that the proportion of older people will continue to rise. At the same time, not only cancer but also non-oncological diseases are on the rise, which will lead to a growing need for specialised palliative care and hospice work in outpatient and inpatient settings if patients cannot be cured. The focus is not only on adults, but also on children and adolescents for palliative and hospice treatment and care. This development will also increase the need for highly qualified specialists to work in this area in nursing, medical, psychosocial and spiritual terms. At the same time, there is a need for further development of care services with evidence-based treatment and care concepts, which will lead to better, guideline-compliant and science-based palliative treatment and support in the future.
The modules in semesters 1-3 are:
The compulsory practical module should be completed abroad if possible. However, it is also possible to complete it in Germany.
