FH Burgenland·Health and Nursing
Bachelor of Arts in Gesundheits- und Krankenpflege
The Bachelor program in Health and Nursing at FH Burgenland equips students with practical skills and theoretical knowledge essential for the nursing profession. With a strong emphasis on hands-on experience, students are trained to handle diverse healthcare situations, preparing them for various roles in the healthcare sector.

Students explore the intricacies of nursing, including patient care, ethical considerations, and healthcare systems. The program integrates both theoretical studies and practical applications to ensure comprehensive learning.
The program comprises six semesters, combining classroom-based learning with hands-on training in healthcare settings. A focus on practical internships allows students to apply their acquired knowledge in real-world environments, culminating in a final thesis project.

Third-country (non-EU/EEA) applicants generally need to have their prior qualifications legalised and translated for the admission application. Exact rules depend on the country that issued each document — always confirm with the university's admissions office.
Program-specific items — a CV, letter of motivation, an entrance exam (e.g. GMAT, GRE, SAT) or a portfolio — vary by degree. Check this program's requirements above and its official page.
The level of legalisation your certificates need depends on your country of origin:
Apostille
If your country is part of the Hague Apostille Convention, an Apostille from the competent authority of the issuing country is sufficient.
No legalisation
A small number of countries have a bilateral agreement with Austria and need no further legalisation.
Full diplomatic legalisation
For all other countries: the full chain — pre-certification by the issuing country's authorities (e.g. Ministry of Education and Ministry of Foreign Affairs), then legalisation by the competent Austrian representation (embassy/consulate).
Translations are usually done after legalisation. Check the required order with the issuing authorities and the Austrian representation.
After admission: proof of sufficient funds, health insurance and the student residence permit are part of the visa process — not university admission. We cover those in the guides.
FH Burgenland runs business, IT, energy-environment, health, and social programs across campuses in Eisenstadt and Pinkafeld, with notably low living costs.
