Study programs
Students specialising in gerontology, health and care take a multidisciplinary approach to the general and specific issues of ageing and old age as well as the ethically and professionally based treatment of people in need of care.
The Gerontology, Health and Care degree programme includes the interdisciplinary professional and methodological examination of the disciplines of gerontology (science of age and ageing), nursing science, geriatrics and (geronto-)psychiatry (geriatric medicine) as well as health protection, prevention and rehabilitation. Against the background of legal, social and health policy framework conditions and developments, the subject deals with the fields of gerontology and the field of rehabilitative, curative and palliative care, support and care of people with long-term care needs and people with chronic illnesses in different phases of life.
