Modern training for 10,000 nurses: the new Favorites campus

With pleasant pride, Bettina Madleitner , the head of the courses for health and nursing, media representatives the newly opened premises of the Campus Vienna University of Applied Sciences on Favoritenstraße. The campus now offers a modern training environment that is more reminiscent of an elite university than an institution funded by public funds.

"The architecture is impressive and the infrastructure is excellent," says Madleitner, emphasizing how important it is that the students already receive active learning opportunities at the beginning of the semester. These positive assessments reflect the trend that a lot has happened on the campus in favorites, which speaks for the 10,000 students currently registered.

The largest university of applied sciences in Austria

The chairman of the management, Wilhelm Behensky , proudly presents the institution as the largest university of applied sciences in Austria. On the campus, almost 70 courses are offered in the areas of care and health sciences, both full -time and part -time. "We offer a variety of options here that meet the needs of the students," explains Behensky.

In conversation with the courier, Peter Hacker , the health city council, also optimistically about the training opportunities in the nursing sector. "Here you learn not only for the job, but also how you grow as a person," reports a student and emphasizes the successful balance between theoretical knowledge and practical applications. The City of Vienna has made significant investments in campus, from which the graduates in particular benefit - the majority will be employed at the Wiener Health Association (Wigev) or at the Fonds Social Wien .

Due to the extensive expansion and upgrading of the training centers, the District Favorites is not only redefined as a place for education, but also as a positive story in the city, especially according to the negative headlines that the district has suffered in the past. The efforts to combat the nursing emergency continue. City Councilor Hacker also calls for clear financial support for training in the health sector from the Bundes budget in order to meet the ongoing challenges.

Through these developments, the Vienna Campus positions itself as a central point of contact for future -oriented training in healthcare, which is based on both the professional and social skills of the students and thus covers the increasing need for specialists in nursing.
