The theoretical knowledge you have acquired will be practically verified through long-term practice. During your studies, you will complete a total of 46 weeks of nursing and professional practice. You can carry out your practice, for example, in antenatal clinics, gynaecological outpatient clinics, inpatient gynaecological and obstetric care facilities (standard nursing units, intensive care units, delivery rooms or operating theatres) and other selected workplaces.
