    The statutory reform of midwifery training according to the WHO recommendations, which envisages the academisation of the training, is implemented by the University of Health Professions Eberswalde in its study concept for the B.Sc. Midwifery degree programme.

    The programme at HGE is characterised by application relevance and practical orientation: simulation-based teaching and internships are an integral part of the dual degree at the university and consistently take place from the first to the seventh semester.

    Each module of the degree programme imparts subject-specific, methodological, practical and interdisciplinary content as well as subject-related, methodological and interprofessional competences and key qualifications.
