Special features
We are always close to current challenges! From winter semester 24/25, we'll be introducing two new areas of specialisation. You can choose between Digital Health and Planetary Health. You can also decide throughout your studies which topics you would like to focus on more intensively – Occupational Health Management, Healthcare Management or Community Health Promotion.
A degree programme to suit your life circumstances – complete flexibility with proven quality
Studying is a full-time job – normally. Our bachelor's degree programme can also be studied part-time and therefore offers a flexible model that suits different life phases and situations! The course is then organised in a different way and stretched out accordingly. Whether you are working, raising children or cannot study full-time for other reasons – we are happy to advise you!
Your career prospects
The career paths of our graduates are as diverse as the programme itself. You can work in health management in companies, in care management at healthcare providers or in health consulting in local authorities.
Whichever path you choose, the healthcare sector is a constantly growing industry. With an internationally recognised university degree from HFU you are ideally prepared for responsibilities in the professional world.
Once you have your bachelor's degree in your pocket, you can continue your academic career by taking a master's, for example in Internal link opens in the same window:Applied Health Promotion or Internal link opens in the same window:Interdisciplinary Health Promotion. And you can even do a doctorate with us afterwards!
