Start your online study programme in Gerontology now
The proportion of older people in our society is steadily rising. This development necessitates the constant adaptation of structures in politics and the economy, in health and social services, as well as in education. This requires experts who are familiar with the ageing process and the needs of older people. Our Bachelor’s in Gerontology will prepare you for the challenges of demographic change and working with older people.
Gerontology is an interdisciplinary science with many sub-fields. Our online study programme in Gerontology examines demographic change from different perspectives and provides you with optimal training for a professional remit that spans operational, planning-coordinating, advisory and teaching activities. Your fields of application as a gerontologist are diverse; you therefore have the opportunity to find your desired professional footing as part of a practical project during your studies. In addition, you can acquire your qualification as a care advisor as per Section 7a German Social Code (SGB XI).

Echte Praxiserfahrungen sammeln
Im Studium Gerontologie hast Du die Möglichkeit, das Praxisprojekt „Handlungsfelder der Gerontologie (DLBGEWPPHF)“ mit 300 Stunden (10 ECTS) zu absolvieren. Das Praxisprojekt kannst Du nach erreichten 60 ECTS und erfolgreichem Abschluss des Moduls Gerontologie (DLBPPG01) optional im Rahmen Deiner Wahlpflichtfächer auswählen. Dabei hast Du die Chance, Deinen Praxisbetrieb selbst zu wählen. Das können u.a. Beratungsstellen für ältere Menschen, Stabsstellen mit Schwerpunkt Senior:innen bei Wohlfahrtsverbänden, Bildungseinrichtungen für ältere Menschen oder kommunale Stellen mit Fokus auf die Belange älterer Menschen sein. Wichtig ist, dass die Praxisbetriebe und die Praxisvereinbarung von uns geprüft und akzeptiert wurden. Pro Praxisprojekt ist eine Prüfungsleistung vorgesehen, in der Du eine Praxisreflexion schriftlich ausarbeitest.
Study model and prices for the Bachelor's online study programme in Gerontologie
Depending on your personal or professional situation, full-time study is not always easy to manage. That is why we have also developed part-time programmes for all our degrees, which offer flexible and longer study periods. This way, you can study alongside your job or during your time off, whether at home or abroad. The content of the different models is identical. Depending on the study model, we will adjust your tuition fees accordingly. With the part-time variants, your weekly study workload is reduced.
Can't finish your degree in the allotted time? No problem! We will develop the right study model for everyone. If you realise that you need more time, you can easily switch to another study model with three months’ notice before the end of the month. These are our different study models:
