The increasing number of people with complex care needs due to chronic and multiple illnesses increases the need for highly qualified nursing professionals with extended skills.
The Applied Nursing Science course at the University of Lübeck meets this need by providing advanced qualifications at the interface between science and practice. By focusing on research methods and scientifically sound nursing practice, it provides the skills needed to provide evidence-based care to people with complex care needs.
The degree program prepares you for your extended roles in practice development, quality assurance or care coordination.
With this course, you can obtain a Bachelor of Science degree as well as further qualifications depending on your individual focus.
These include the qualification to work as a practice supervisor or for nursing decision support and guidance ("Decision Coaching").
Then study Applied Nursing Science (part-time) at the University of Lübeck: scientific, versatile and interprofessional - we look forward to meeting you!




The path to applied nursing science was an exciting step for me because of its future orientation. Through practice-oriented, interdisciplinary modules, this course helps us to learn together and actively participate in the further development of health and nursing sciences.
Academically qualified nurses have a wide range of career prospects, from working as a practice instructor, as a "decision coach" to support and accompany chronically or seriously ill people in important therapy or care decisions, to working as a nursing expert in the care of people with complex care needs.
The Bachelor's degree course in Applied Nursing Science is designed as a part-time course. A professional activity of up to 50% is possible. Please also note our information on financing your studies below.
Various organizations for the promotion of gifted students support students with scholarships. You can find an overview of the University of Lübeck here. You can find a comprehensive database at myStipendium.
We would particularly like to highlight the advancement scholarship from the Stiftung Begabtenförderung berufliche Bildung. Regardless of age, it is aimed at skilled workers who have at least two years of professional experience and can provide evidence of special professional achievements (e.g. the grade of the final vocational examination). Full-time and part-time students are eligible. It is possible to apply before the start of studies and up to the 2nd semester. Dr. Patrick Ristau will be happy to answer any questions about the advancement scholarship.
As a rule, study days take place during the lecture period on three consecutive working days per week. Deviating from this, practical phases are planned in which the students should complete internships (approx. 400 hours in total) in cooperating institutions.
20 study places are allocated each winter semester.
