UKL welcomes Vietnamese nursing trainees
At Leipzig University Hospital (UKL), 18 young people from Vietnam and other countries are preparing to train as nurses. They will start in March 2025 as the first part-time class at the UKL's vocational medical school. The trainees have been working as assistants on the wards since October and are taking part in language courses to ensure they are well prepared for their training.

The part-time training programme enables a job-oriented combination of practice, theory and intensive language tuition to bring German language skills up to native speaker level. The model is based on experience with international trainees who had language barriers in regular training programmes.
The UKL supports the new trainees in dealing with authorities, finding accommodation and integration. We not only want to get them enthusiastic about nursing, but also recruit them as specialists in the long term," emphasises Prof. Christoph Josten, Medical Director of the UKL. Further applications for the next international cohorts are already underway.
