The third space of learning is not a physical location but rather a didactic/pedagogical concept which offers students a protected space for training, strengthening, and deepening newly acquired skills and competencies within the framework of subject-related practical trainings in the St. Pölten UAS’ labs (Health Labs) under the supervision of lecturers and experts. In this way, you are ideally equipped for your vocational internships and for working with patients.
All students acquire the T-shirt saying “Nurse in Progress” at the beginning of their studies. It serves them, for example, as work clothes at the third space of learning – in other words, whenever subject-related practical exercises take place. Our students can also wear these shirts during their vocational internships if their internship provider does not provide scrubs for them.
