Structure of the curriculum
The research-orientated degree programme provides in-depth theoretical and methodological skills which enable graduates to develop, implement and evaluate innovative care approaches in healthcare. It concludes with the awarding of the academic degree of Master of Science (M.Sc.).
In order to ease entry into the programme, we offer a one-day preparatory course before the start of the studies, which covers basic methodological and statistical skills. This makes it easier for students from other universities.
The Master's degree programme in Applied Care Research is a part-time degree programme over 4 semesters, including the Master's thesis. The workload per semester is 75% of a full-time degree programme, totalling 90 ECTS credit points (CP). The degree programme consists of course time spent in attendance at the university, self-study units and practical units, which are taught in a total of 12 modules.
Methods:
- If required: methodical preparatory course on data collection and simple evaluation methods
- Anthropology, theory of science
- Qualitative and quantitative methods
- Care and implementation sciences
Healthcare concepts:
- Healthcare systems research
- Care research
- Forms of care and control
- Compulsory electives (2 out of 3 modules): technical innovations and e-health, regionally-differentiated care needs and concepts, age-differentiated care needs and concepts
Ethics:
- Research and care ethics
Management and law:
- The legal basis for the structure/organisation of the care sectors
- Business planning in the health sector
Practical modules:
- 2 practical modules

Profile of the degree programme
The Master's degree programme in "Applied Care Research" combines research and application by conveying comprehensive methods of care research, research and care ethics, and innovation science, while at the same time providing an extensive range of options for putting the acquired skills into practice. The research in various fields of healthcare, supervised by professors, is a unique feature of the degree programme. Here, experts are trained who are able to conduct practice-relevant research at a high level, but who can also implement new care concepts in real life practice.
