Hello again @Sidra,

and thank you for sharing your interesting question with the community. I really appreciate your decision not to cancel your vocational training, as a professional degree in nursing offers you a broad variety of further development opportunities.

If you wish to study afterwards, there are at least two question to answer in advance.

The first one concerns your residential status. Some residence permits cannot easily be changed, e.g from a residence permit for training to a residence permit for studying. So you should check this first for yourself: What type of residence permit are you holding at present? (You shouldn't answer this question on a public platform).

The second one concerns your educational background. To enrol at university, you need an university entrance qualification, which is not automatically obtained within a three years' vocational training but in a higher education institution. If your documents from your country will be accepted by a German university, you can check here:  https://anabin.kmk.org/no_cache/filter/schulabschluesse-mit-hochschulzugang.html#land_gewaehlt

Some further questions to answer relate to sponsoring and, e.g., age: How can you secure your livelihood during your studies? One example for this age topic: Whereas it will be easy to find a job at the age of 45 after one finished their studies in social work, it might be quite impossible for one who obtained a business administration degree at the same age.

So if you have further questions or simply wish to get some information on the development opportunities in nursing, please feel free to write again. If you like to get more individual counselling, you can always contact me via mbeon.

I hope my answers were helpful and I’ll be very pleased if you contact me again with further questions. mbeon is an online advisory service for migrants via the mbeon-app, which you can download on your smartphone for free.

Hey, thank you for the reply. I already received my recognition of my Bachelor's degree from Dusseldorf. But I want to pursue food science and technology as a second degree and the degree that I have completed from my country is of Humanities field. Therefore, I am looking out for answers and process that would help me out. Later, in Germany I completed my integration course , received my citizenship certificate "Lebens im Deutschland" and started my "Pflegeausbildung" ,that is the general one and not the one designated only in one particular department that is  the geriatric care.
Congratulations, dear Sidra! So you already have free access to university.
Most universities demand a B2 or C1-certificate, too. This won't be a big issue; after your training your German will be rather good, I suppose.
Thank you! So, I can pursue B.sc as a second degree, if I am not wrong? I received recognition of my Bachelors' degree in Political Science from Dusseldorf. If I didnt' misunderstand ,then, I can pursue B.sc as a second degree right? I came across many universities website that it is possible to pursue bachelors' in another field as a second degree. I found this public platform suitable to put up my queries! I am thankful to you people for answering my questions! :) you people are the best! Yes, hopefully my german will improve! :)
You can pursue a second BA degree of course. But as your first degree is already recognised, you are not eligible for educational support (BaFöG).
Thank you! :)
