FH Burgenland·Health and Nursing
Bachelor of Science in Health Studies (BSc)
The Bachelor's program in Health and Nursing focuses on providing students with foundational knowledge in medical sciences, nursing skills, and practical experience in healthcare settings. The curriculum is organized into various semesters filled with theoretical and practical modules, ensuring graduates are well-prepared for healthcare roles. Career opportunities include working in hospitals, community health, and various social health services.
The program covers topics related to health sciences, nursing basics, and clinical practice. It provides insights into health promotion and emergency response. Students are trained in skills necessary for modern healthcare environments.
The program is organized over six semesters with a combination of theory and practical training. Students engage in internships, allowing them to apply their knowledge in real-world scenarios and complete a thesis in their final semester.
Graduates acquire competencies in nursing skills, patient management, and health promotion. They are equipped to handle various healthcare scenarios and specialize based on their interests.

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.
