In the Department of Health & Social Affairs at Fresenius University of Applied Sciences, teaching is characterised by a high degree of practical orientation, close cooperation with social and healthcare institutions and interdisciplinary approaches. Current topics such as digitalisation, diversity and sustainability are integrated in the Bachelor's and Master's degree areas. Personal support, innovative learning formats and a wide range of practice projects optimally prepare students for demanding and future-oriented career fields.

The department is characterised by a practical international orientation which, despite the framework conditions under professional law, permits a wide range of insights into international fields of work. Students benefit from short, intensive exchange programs, for example with the Fondation INFA in France or with the Takasaki University of Health and Welfare Japan in the field of physiotherapy. Work placements abroad can be realised via Erasmus+, and partners such as Apex Social open up attractive prospects abroad after graduation. Foreign-language competencies are specifically promoted.
