Being a nurse requires technical, relational and educational skills, ability to solve problems related to the nursing practice (evidence-based nursing), openness to constant knowledge updating (continuing professional development) and interdisciplinary work (interprofessional education). For this reason, the undergraduate degree porgramme in Nursing is based on the knowledge of different and complementary areas: biomedical and preventive hygiene disciplines, which allow students to learn the most relevant elements underlying general physiological and pathological processes, are combined, in this degree programme, with humanities disciplines, which help students understand themselves, their profession and the relationship with the person they care for. The pathway is largely focused on learning the profession comprehensively, with particular emphasis on the process of research and the best evidence of efficacy. In fact, there are many internship experiences during which it is possible to experience, with supervision, a gradual assumption of autonomy and responsibility.

Once you have obtained your degree in Nursing, you can continue your training with a graduate degree programme in Nursing and Midwifery Sciences.

To obtain the undergraduate degree, 180 credits (ECTS) are required. As a rule, 60 ECTS are acquired each year with assessment tests both for the courses and for the other supplementary forms of teaching. A given number of ECTS is assigned to each course for all students. The grade (expressed out of 30) varies according to the student's level of preparation. The final grade, which includes the evaluation of the final examination, is expressed out of 110.
