Nursing & Healthcare Management - Exchange students

Worldwide demographic developments are increasingly presenting society with new challenges. Germany is no exception. The impact is particularly noticeable in the healthcare and nursing professions, where we can observe steadily growing demands and the need to deal with increasingly complex tasks. 

The Department of Nursing & Management at the HAW Hamburg offers two undergraduate programmes. The dual programme "Nursing" is a collaboration with seven Hamburg hospitals. Students study at the HAW Hamburg and receive their practical training at a partner hospital. »Interdisciplinary Healthcare and Management« provides professionals with additional skills in developing new concepts for the different fields of healthcare. Both programmes contribute to the development of solutions aimed at meeting the challenges in nursing and healthcare. Each summer semester (March - July) exchange students can get an insight into this expertise and take the following courses in English:
