Nursing in Germany at a Glance
Pre-Requisites to Study Nursing
The three essential steps before you begin your nursing journey in Germany.
German A1 / B1
Learn German to A1 level (or B1 for vocational training/Ausbildung) in your home country before applying.
Studienkolleg (M-Kurse)
Complete the preparatory M-Kurse program to build your academic and language foundation.
FSP Exam

Nursing in Germany is a three-year course combining 2,100 hours of theoretical knowledge with 2,500 hours of hands-on practical training at hospitals connected to nursing schools. Along the way, you can specialise further through Fachweiterbildung — a two-year specialisation in areas like ward management, ICU and anaesthesia, palliative care, psychiatric care, quality management, OR and oncology.
Germany faces a considerable shortage of qualified nurses, which means strong job security and career growth for graduates. With free or near-free education, a living stipend during training, and the ability to work anywhere in the EU afterward, nursing remains one of the most accessible and rewarding pathways for international students building a future in Germany.
