A formative time

“For me, my time studying at Esslingen University of Applied Sciences has been one of the most formative periods of my professional life so far. Studying allowed me to think outside the box and make connections with other nursing students in other European countries. A structured approach is essential in research. This was taught to us students and still shapes my work today.”

Pushing changes

After I finished my training, I worked in the hospital for one and a half years. I observed structures that I didn't really like. With the Nursing Management degree programme, I have the opportunity to change something about the structures. I study here in Esslingen because many of my teachers studied here and it is a very renowned university for social work and social welfare.
