Future Health: FHV starts the academic year and presents digital innovations in care

97 students recently began their Health Care and Nursing studies at the FHV. This bachelor's degree program started for the eighth time and currently has a total of 242 students. Together with those responsible at the FHV, State Health Minister Martina Rüscher is pleased that the number of students is continuously increasing. "This is an important signal in view of the urgent need for skilled workers. The Vorarlberg University of Applied Sciences has proven itself as a reliable and innovative partner in education and research for many years, especially in the field of Health Care and Nursing," she emphasizes. The close link between practice, teaching and research creates optimal framework conditions for future-oriented training. "Research is a key driver of progress - the FHV shows how new digital solutions in healthcare and nursing are an important step forward. In this way, the university is making a significant contribution to innovation and the further development of the healthcare sector," emphasizes Rüscher.

Students at the FHV receive an education at the cutting edge of science. "The knowledge is applied directly to the care of patients thanks to the high practical component of the degree program and thus increases the quality of care," explains Diana Brodda, Head of Department and Head of the Health Care and Nursing competence area at the FHV. The program includes a full-time version with a duration of six semesters as well as a bachelor's upgrade for qualified nurses in the upper service.
