Vocational Education in Health Care B.A.

Within the framework of the part-time study program Vocational Education in Health Care, you will be qualified professionally and personally to work as a teacher or practical instructor in schools or practical training locations in the health care sector.

You will study subjects from the three module groups with corresponding ECTS:

• Medical-scientific basics,
• Specialized sciences of the health care professions,
• Pedagogy, didactics and subject didactics

Thus, our study program complies with the requirements of teacher education of the ministries of educationand cultural affairs (e.g. those of the Ministry of Education and Cultural Affairs of Bavaria) and the recommendations of the Standing Conference of the Ministers of Education and Cultural Affairs of the Länder in the Federal Republic of Germany on teacher education.

You are studying part-time.

Your studies are composed of:

• Attendance at block courses at our campus in Kronach, which take place on average once a month (Friday and Saturday) and
• a guided self-study, in which you deal in depth with the contents you have learned.

The standard period of study is ten semesters. Since competences from your previous vocational training are recognised within the scope of up to 90 ECTS - this corresponds to the achievements to be made in semesters 1 to 3 - you already start in the 4th semester. As a rule, your studies will last seven semesters on a part-time basis. In addition, the compulsory internship can often be completed during or towards the end of the degree programme, so that a reduction to e.g. six semesters is possible.

On the basis of your previous experience from training in the healthcare sector, we can start directly with you in the in-depth examination in the modules:

• Medical-scientific basics and
• Specialized sciences of the health care professions

These will be supplemented with modules in the area of pedagogy, didactics and subject didactics which are important for you as a later teacher / practice supervisor.

The degree program qualifies you to work as a teacher / practical instructor in the healthcare sector.

In the first level of professional qualification, which you acquire with the Bachelor of Arts in Vocational Education in Health Care, you will often be employed in the so-called "practical content" and "teaching sequences" after graduation. (Please note the special features of the different federal states!)

Another area of application for you - as a well-trained pedagogue - is in the field of in-company education, e.g. as a practical instructor or in the field of further education.

Universities are also looking for well-trained educators with a professional background.

Other employers, such as industry, health insurance companies, but also fields of activity in health education are open to you with the completion of your pedagogy studies.

What you need to bring with you:

• Successfully completed training in the healthcare sector, ideally with professional experience, as well as
• university entrance qualification, e.g. (technical) high school diploma or at least 2 years of vocational training with at least 3 years of full-time professional experience.
