The Bachelor's degree program in Healthcare and Nursing at the Carinthia University of Applied Sciences offers a solid foundational education that combines theoretical knowledge and practical training. Through a mix of classroom learning and real-world experience, students prepare for the complex responsibilities of nursing, addressing both the scientific and practical demands of the profession. Graduates emerge as competent health professionals, well-equipped to navigate the evolving landscape of healthcare.
The curriculum covers essential topics such as nursing theories, health economics, and methodologies in applied research. It prepares students for holistic nursing care across various settings.
The program consists of six semesters, integrating theoretical and practical training, with internships enhancing hands-on learning. Students are expected to complete a thesis in their final semester.
Graduates will develop competencies in health promotion, patient education, and critical thinking skills necessary for leading nursing practices. They will be equipped to navigate the complexities of healthcare systems effectively.

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.
