Programme Manager, ‘Healthy Workplace’
, ‘Tut gut!’ Health Prevention Ltd
I’m responsible for the strategic direction, implementation and organisation of the ‘Healthy Workplace’ programme at ‘Tut gut!’ Gesundheitsvorsorge GmbH. We support organisations in implementing workplace health promotion in Lower Austria, with the aim of maintaining and improving people’s health awareness and ability to work within their organisations.
Working with a great team and driving forward workplace health promotion in Lower Austria together.
Particularly worth highlighting is the holistic understanding of health that I was able to develop during my degree. At the same time, I gained in-depth insights into business operations – valuable knowledge that effectively combines theory and practice.
Tina Carina Wellmann, MA
Digital Marketing & Social Media at Instahelp
My job is to create content for social media channels, post it and analyse it afterwards. It’s important to always stay up to date. I also get involved in various collaborations and projects. So, it’s very varied and exciting. :)
The best thing is my team and what Instahelp stands for: I love the ‘start-up vibe’ and the fact that our service provides easy access to psychological counselling. Society and the healthcare system need this.
My work placement: Combining theory with practice was a real eye-opener for me in many areas. What’s more, I was taken on straight away afterwards and was able to develop both personally and professionally over the course of just under 4½ years.
Head of Human Resources
I support our staff in various professional situations, recruit new staff, and handle employment-related matters, as well as much more.
I get to work with people.
The absolute highlight was my work placement. The wide variety of lectures gave me a broad insight into working life.
Health and Performance Management Officer at Steiermärkische Sparkasse
Planning, implementing and evaluating workplace health promotion initiatives in the form of talks, workshops and seminars, sports programmes and one-to-one consultations, such as massages and osteopathy.
Our aim is to use these measures to strengthen all employees’ personal responsibility for their own health in the long term and, as a result, to increase staff satisfaction.
Working with people at all levels of the company, the boundless creativity, and the end result: happy and satisfied staff.
I particularly loved the fact that there were so many guest lecturers with practical experience, some of whom I still work with today.
The friendly, family-like atmosphere on campus was immediately apparent, and I’ll always remember the Christmas sessions with Prof. Mayer.
Head of Controlling and HIS Application Management
, Rudolfinerhaus Privatklinik GmbH
I am primarily responsible for internal and external reporting, medical documentation and all controlling activities. My main tasks include preparing the annual accounts, budgeting, organising strategy meetings and advising senior management. I’m also responsible for further developing and automating our reporting processes, digitising hospital processes and managing our hospital information system.
The incredibly varied work, which presents a new challenge every day, alongside my outstanding team in a hospital that offers top-class medical and nursing care.
The fact that Burgenland University of Applied Sciences didn’t just teach textbook knowledge, but also gave people in key positions the opportunity to share insights from their many years of practical experience. I’m still in touch with some of the lecturers and enjoy discussing current topics with them.
Digital Student, Medical Affairs at MSD Austria (international pharmaceutical company)
My responsibilities include compiling medical study results and information materials for doctors and patients, as well as managing an information and training website for experts. I also carry out design work on the layout of materials and support medical advisors at expert meetings on clinical trials.
The best thing about my job is the opportunity to work in an incredibly great, agile and motivating environment and to make a significant contribution, together, to tackling health issues.
The highlight of my degree was combining the principles of a holistic approach to health with elements of human biology and pharmacy, as well as gaining a deeper insight into Austria’s hospital landscape and healthcare system.
Florentina Sgarz, MA
Content Manager
OMNIi-Talk podcast
I work in digital marketing as a content manager, which covers the following areas: website, blog, podcast, influencer marketing, photo shoots and trend analysis.
The podcast has now become my main responsibility, where I’m in charge of everything from content creation and recording to editing and publishing online.
I really enjoy it and I’m so grateful to have been given this opportunity!
Working with influencers and, without a doubt, the podcast.
The best thing about this degree was that we learnt a great deal about the human body, whilst also gaining an understanding of the business aspects of a company.
I use the knowledge I gained very often in my work, and it was a real asset when I applied to the AllergoSan Institute.
eLearning Coordinator
At Steiermärkische Krankenanstaltenges.m.b.H., I’m responsible for e-learning within the HR development department. This covers the whole process, from brainstorming ideas, through the didactic design and production of e-learning modules, right through to roll-out, reporting and marketing activities.
That I get to use creative and engaging e-learning modules to help convey even the less exciting topics to our staff.
The broad insight into the healthcare system and into healthcare and hospital facilities provides an excellent foundation for many career paths. I also really appreciated the friendly atmosphere and the practical relevance of the course.
You can find more stories about notable graduates, students, lecturers and staff from this degree programme here and on our blog.
The event was hosted by Ostfalia University of Applied Sciences, which, together with Magdeburg-Stendal University of Applied Sciences, brought together students from the D-A-CH region. The five-day programme offered specialist insights and numerous opportunities for international exchange.
Following their arrival in Wolfsburg, the programme began with a get-together on the Ostfalia campus. The participating universities introduced themselves and their respective degree programmes, and students from Austria and Germany were given the opportunity to network. The joint evening event provided an opportunity for initial discussions and marked the start of a varied week.
Particular emphasis was placed on practical insights into the healthcare sector in the Wolfsburg region. On the second day, for example, the programme included a tour of the Volkswagen factory, featuring a visit to the VW Health Centre, which demonstrated how workplace health promotion and health management are implemented within a large corporation.
On Wednesday, there was a joint session at the SIM-Lab at Ostfalia University of Applied Sciences. Here, the students were able to experience realistic simulations and put their communication skills to the test in virtual reality simulation exercises. The afternoon was spent enjoying a spot of sport with a group bowling session.
Other practical highlights included a tour of Wolfenbüttel Hospital and a guided walking tour of the town under the theme ‘Strong women who shaped Wolfenbüttel’. The tour combined historical perspectives with inspiring life stories. The evening drew to a cosy close at the Wolfenbüttel Christmas market.
On Friday, the students visited the Centre for Outpatient Rehabilitation (ZAR) in Wolfsburg. There, they gained practical insights into rehabilitation services, interdisciplinary collaboration and modern, technology-assisted therapeutic approaches.
The five-day mobility programme highlighted just how valuable international collaboration is in the field of health management. Our students benefited not only academically but also personally: new contacts, enriching discussions and a deeper understanding of different approaches to healthcare systems across the German-speaking world made this trip a valuable experience.
Burgenland University of Applied Sciences would like to thank Ostfalia University of Applied Sciences and Magdeburg-Stendal University of Applied Sciences for their warm cooperation and looks forward to further joint activities as part of future mobility programmes.
"The mobility programme gave me a good insight into healthcare facilities in Germany. I learnt a lot of interesting things and it was fascinating to see how similar, yet different, the degree programmes offered by the partner university are."
