Content of the Study Program
The study program B.Sc. Physician Assistance begins annually on 1 April.
The program extends over a period of three years and comprises 180 ECTS credit points. It consists of modules at which the student must be present, which are made up of lectures with theoretical and practical content at the university.
Transfer days take place in the employer’s clinical institutions and allow students to deepen the knowledge gained during the tuition by applying it in practice. Units for independent study enable students to prepare for and follow up after study modules and to acquire additional knowledge.
A scientific project is worked on over the entire duration of the course, culminating in the bachelor's thesis. This project is usually co-supervised by the employer. Within the scientific project, a total of three written papers (project study paper, study paper and bachelor thesis) and three oral presentations are required.
Under special conditions, achievements from previously completed courses of study and training can be credited. Information on this can be obtained from the study office.
