FOS for health and social services
Job profile
Many doors are open to you with the Fachhochschulreife qualification. Regardless of whether you want to study or start your training in social work. The entrance qualification for universities of applied sciences opens up a wide range of career opportunities. "In principle, the Fachhochschulreife entitles you to study all degree programmes at all universities of applied sciences or corresponding degree programmes at other universities. But no rule is without exception: in Hesse and Lower Saxony, for example, you will usually also be admitted to Bachelor's degree programmes at universities with the Fachhochschulreife. You can find out more information about these admission options from the university's student advisory service." (Source: www.hochschulkompass.de)
