Our Strengths
High level of expertise in the health care and nursing sector
The Faculty of Social Work, Health Care and Nursing Sciences at Esslingen University of Applied Sciences is well-known for its strong performance in the disciplines of health care and nursing. The broad spectrum of practical topics and research fields at the faculty is the only one of its kind anywhere in Germany.
Excellent teaching
The experienced team of professors who together have already amassed 20 years of experience in the academic aspects of nursing training represents all the fields of relevance for the nursing sciences, nursing management, nursing teacher education and health care management.
Practical relevance is a top priority
The practical approach to research and working adopted in the Nursing Management degree programme allows students with professional experience to transfer their theoretical knowledge directly to issues which are both real and topical.
Professionalisation of the nursing profession
Graduates with a Bachelor’s degree in Nursing Management have excellent career prospects. Most graduates go on to work in quality management – sometimes while they are still at university – or they take on a managerial role as a nursing manager in the nursing care or health care sectors on graduating.
Esslingen’s feel-good factor
Esslingen can boast a medieval old quarter and a picturesque location on the River Neckar, flanked by vineyards, and thus offers a wide range of diverse leisure activities. Narrow lanes and half-timbered houses, pretty cafés, restaurants serving Swabian and international cuisine, theatres and museums - there is something for everybody. A great many events are organised throughout the year. And if all this is still not enough for you, the centre of Stuttgart, the capital of Baden-Württemberg, is only a 15-minute train ride away.
The teaching is based on the Hilltop Campus in Esslingen. All important facilities such as the library, computing centre, sports facilities and the refectory are just a stone’s throw away from the lecture theatres and laboratories.
