Additional information

Programme structure

You study in the part-time study model (part-time). This means that the attendance time comprises a total of 5 block weekends per semester (Thursday to Monday). This allows you to combine your studies ideally with your professional activities and your private requirements.

During the 7th semester, a teaching internship takes place (practical school studies). This is carried out at a state-approved health care school. If you are already working at a school during your studies, it is possible to receive credit for the teaching internship. Please contact us at any time. This can shorten the duration of your studies to 7 semesters or 3.5 years. You will successfully complete the teaching internship with a teaching sample.

Career opportunities

With our medical education degree program, you will acquire comprehensive skills that you can later successfully apply in numerous professional fields – whether as a teacher in a school, as a trainer in continuing education or in the field of prevention, or even as a school director.
