General Information

Nursing sciences - a research-oriented Master’s degree

The degree programme qualifies you to plan, design and evaluate nursing care services on a scientific basis. The programme is structured so as to equip you with the skills to analyse, critically examine and evaluate social science research in the discipline-specific context of nursing sciences, and also from an interdisciplinary and a trans-disciplinary perspective.

Programme objectives

The prime objectives are to:

  • teach and expand students’ knowledge of the current status of social science research as it relates to nursing care
  • analyse and critically examine current social science research methods and strategies and their application to issues in the nursing sciences
  • learn about and develop research, evaluation and planning tools which can be used for the promotion of quality in the nursing profession and for quality management in health care
  • apply the knowledge gained and the methods and tools learned to the analysis of current challenges in the nursing sciences and practical nursing care
  • plan, undertake and write up your own research or development project.

This full-time programme awards 90 Credits (workload 750 hrs per semester).
The master programme can be organised individually and allows for an accompanying professional activity.
From the winter semester 2022/23, lectures will be offered on 3 fixed days (probably Wednesday, Thursday and Friday) per week.
