The faculty of Health Sciences is situated in a new building which is centrally located in Giessen. The facility has extensive equipment for research and teaching.
The entire building has been fitted with WiFi for the students.
Auditoriums
Various lecture halls in different sizes and with modern media technologies are available. All auditoriums are air-conditioned.
Computer Labs
We have two state-of-the-art computer labs with more than 90 PCs to meet the requirements of the IT-based processes in medicine and health care. Using a modern server infrastructure, we provide numerous software products from the field of health sciences in our courses. This includes e.g. complete hospital information systems, PACS, modules for medical controlling (ID Diacos), nursing documentation, AMIS or laboratory information systems. Thus, we can simulate almost all areas of the health care system in a realistic manner.
Seminar Rooms
We established seminar rooms that facilitate an ideal working atmosphere for small groups up to 20 persons. These rooms include modern media technologies and allow a direct interaction with each other.
Intensive Care Laboratory
In our educational intensive care laboratory, we provide up-to-date intensive care technologies and a full size lifelike manikin. This allows the realistic simulation of medical as well as patient care processes. Furthermore, we have vital monitors, respirators, device-based infusion technologies, ultra-sound, and a system for sleep diagnostics, including ECG and EEG. The direct interface between the medical devices and the hospital software systems allows a consistent documentation and a learning effect for the students regarding all required process steps.
Student Facilities
We also offer well-equipped facilities for students in projects or degree theses.
Besides, we offer our students relaxation and rest areas (visit our lounge area):
Teaching Hospital
We cooperate with the teaching hospital of the BDH Klinik in Braunfels. In the context of practical courses, the students rotate through several of the hospital's departments. That way, they get to know the daily clinical routine. The teaching hospital allocates modern therapeutic and diagnostic systems (e.g. MRI, CT, endoscopy, ...) for the education of our students.
Media Library
The University of Applied Sciences has a modern library system with access to numerous ebooks and journals from the areas of medicine, health care, business administration, engineering and informatics. Furthermore, specific literature and lecture notes will be provided to the students using eLearning platforms. This assures that the students are always up-to-date in their courses. Additionally, there is also a conventional and well-stocked library including calm and individual workplaces.
