About the programme

Vocational Education in Health is a German-taught Master's at Fulda University of Applied Sciences, run with the University of Kassel, which leads the programme and handles applications. It takes 4 semesters (120 ECTS), and you can start in winter or summer. Building on the Bachelor's in Vocational Education in Health, it deepens your knowledge of vocational education and the subject of health. You choose between two degrees. The Master of Education qualifies you for teacher training to teach health at vocational schools, such as colleges for health professions, higher technical schools and vocational secondary schools. With nursing as a second subject you can instead earn a Master of Arts and teach at nursing schools or in continuing education in the health system. It suits you if you want to teach health. Check language and admission rules on the University of Kassel website.
