Care that understands therapy.
The new nursing school of Corpus Callosum GmbH in Dortmund's Nordstadt district. Generalist training to become a qualified nurse (Pflegefachfrau or Pflegefachmann), with insights into occupational therapy, physiotherapy and speech therapy from our own company.
* Current status: Corpus Campus is a nursing school in the process of being founded. The school has not yet received state recognition under the German Nursing Professions Act (Pflegeberufegesetz). The planned start of training on 1 February 2027 is subject to state recognition. We will inform everyone who is interested as soon as there is news.
Three reasons for Corpus Campus
Nursing and therapy under one roof
Behind the school is a Dortmund company providing outpatient nursing care, occupational therapy, physiotherapy and speech therapy. You learn how mobilisation, training for everyday activities and swallowing are connected, just as it is needed in real everyday nursing care.
Support in many languages
Classes and examinations are in German. But our team also speaks Turkish, Kurdish and Arabic. We are planning learning support that also explains technical terms in your language. planned
Digitally organised
Timetable, placement plan and feedback from practical instruction in one place: we are planning an app for trainees based on our existing staff Portal. planned
Corpus Callosum connects. So do we.
The Corpus Callosum is the bridge between the two halves of the brain. That's exactly how we see our school: as a bridge between care and therapy, between theory and practice, between people from many countries.

- Experience in the practical training of nursing trainees in our own outpatient care service
- A permanent team led by head of school Andreas Honke M.A.
