The course of study in Nursing Sciences/Nursing Administration qualifies graduates to take up middle management, senior management and executive functions in all institutions within the health service. They are also equipped to enter areas of work in controlling, quality management and adult education across a wide range of nursing a care sectors. Tasks such as counselling for carers and affected parties, coaching for management staff, conducting independent appraisals and much more besides are also covered.
During the Bachelor course of study, content such as nursing sciences, nursing administration and economy and social and health sciences is imparted. The teaching programmes conclude with subject-related examinations. Including the practical semester, the Bachelor course of study is normally of six semesters’ duration. 
All teaching programmes are combined to form modules each comprising between four and six semester periods per week. Students sit a course-related examination in each module. The course of study leads to the conferment of the internationally recognised qualification of Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.).

The four-semester Masters course of study provides an interdisciplinary expansion and extension to the Bachelor course of study. This degree of specialisation enables graduates to undertake tasks within the fields of nursing sciences and in the higher echelons of nursing administration. The course of study concludes with an independent 18-month academic research project and a final thesis and leads to the conferment of the degree of “Master of Science” (M.Sc.). The Master of Science qualification enables students to embark upon a PhD programme of study and obtain access to higher civil service professions.

These courses of study were accredited in 2002, thus assuring compliance with international quality requirements.

The University also offers a dual course of study extending over a period of nine semesters leading to a vocational nursing qualification and a “Bachelor of Science” degree. This study provision is modular in structure and is offered in conjunction with the Dietrich-Bonhoeffer Clinic in Neubrandenburg and the vocational school located there.
