Child and Youth Care FH Salzburg (Salzburg University of Applied Sciences)

The course offers the opportunity to specialise in the field of child and adolescent care. As part of this course, you will learn all the skills required to provide professional support to young patients. Working in child and adolescent care is distinguished by the combination of specialist knowledge and empathy, as well as the development of individual approaches to care. Graduates will thus acquire the key skills for providing care in their work as a nurse or carer.

This specialisation enables people from the nursing and care sector to enhance their skills to enable them to handle specific tasks, as professionals, in the care of new-born and premature babies, children and adolescents. The cooperation of Salzburg University of Applied Sciences with the "Bildungszentrum der Salzburger Landeskliniken" (BIZ) provides the optimal combination of an academic and practically orientated course of study. Knowledge of academic work is essential for working as a professional in the field of child and adolescent care.

Topics covered include:

• Neonatology
• Supporting families with sick children and adolescents
• Supporting and guiding families with chronically ill children
• Palliative care
• Child and adolescent psychiatry
• Specific legal frameworks

After successful completion of the course, you will be able to apply for a professional permit to work in child and adolescent care. This enables graduates to support their patients and their relatives at the highest level.
