Academic education in the health care professions is an important focus of studies at the Senftenberg site. the health-related, job-integrating bachelor's degree courses in Nursing Science and Therapy Sciences and the master's degree course in Vocational Education in Healthcare Professions are practice-oriented and enable students to recognise and analyse complex psychosocial problems and to develop and implement action plans.

The Social Work study programmes at the Cottbus-Sachsendorf campus focus on the specific situations of young people and families within our society, and bilingual courses of study also offer opportunities to deal with social work in Romania and Poland in a practical way.
