About the Program

The Nursing Science program is a dual Bachelor's degree program offered by the Medical Faculty of JMU. It leads to two qualifications: Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.) and Nursing Professional (B.Sc.). The standard period of study is seven semesters, during which 210 ECTS credits are earned. It is a single-subject study program that cannot be combined with another subject from JMU's range of courses. Nursing Science deals with the systematic research, analysis, and further development of nursing care. The focus is on how professional nursing can be designed effectively, appropriately, and sustainably on a scientific basis - across all age groups, care areas, and life phases. The subject area includes both direct nursing care for people - from newborns to chronically ill adults to elderly people in need of care - as well as the structural, organizational, and social framework conditions under which nursing takes place.
