The international B.Sc. programme in nursing trains you in the care of adults, children and elderly persons. Over a programme encompassing eight semesters, you acquire comprehensive skills for a wide range of applications – firm foundations in nursing science as well as practical know-how. After successfully completing the programme, you will have two qualifications: The Bachelor of Science and the state licensing examination as a nursing specialist. The Skills Lab / Simulation Centre on our health campus in Bremen is equipped with state-of-the-art technology and is unique in Germany in this form. The international degree programme in nursing at the HSB encompasses:

  • Competences for independent and process-oriented nursing care
  • Reflection and further development of one's own activities on an academically framed basis
  • Perceiving requirements and implementing new tasks independently
  • Learning in practice at external cooperation partners (for example at clinics, nursing services or counselling centres) and in the Skills Lab / Simulation Centre

Language of instruction

Please be aware, that the main language of instruction during your studies & practical modules is German. 

Compensation & training contract

Since 1 January 2024, primary qualifying nursing students have received appropriate remuneration for the duration of their studies in accordance with the Nursing Studies Strengthening Act (PflStudStG). The prerequisite for this is a ‘training contract’ with a cooperation institution of the degree programme.
 
IMPORTANT: Parallel to applying for a place on the nursing degree programme at Hochschule Bremen, prospective students must apply for a ‘training contract’ at a cooperating institution.
 
Prospective students can contact the cooperation institutions listed below directly or seek advice from the degree programme team before making contact.
 
A signed ‘training contract’ must be submitted to the degree programme office at least 4 weeks before the first examination phase.
 
EXCEPTION: For prospective students who have already completed an apprenticeship in nursingand who may not receive a ‘training contract’, an existing employment contract can be submitted instead of a ‘training contract’ as a special admission requirement.

Practice orientation

The degree programme is primary qualifying. This means that the Hochschule Bremen is exclusively responsible for the entire programme, including the training modules undertaken in practice. Such practical modules are an integral part of the degree programme in each semester. You complete a total of 13 practical modules in different health care facilities, such as clinics, outpatient care services, counselling centres or in palliative care. The Hochschule Bremen is responsible for the coordination.
