This degree course offers students the general grounding needed to provide support and care, promote the health and prevent diseases for patients of all ages. Nurses are qualified healthcare professionals who practise autonomously in a broad range of work environments, both in the public and in the private sector, and also as free-lance professional.

The educational approach allows students to understand the physiological and pathological processes in the human body, the role of nursing and how to relate with individuals of all ages affected by increasingly complex health issues.

To acquire the typical relational, educational and technical skills of nursing, students will be offered simulations and practical sessions both in the classroom and in a real setting. Clinical placements are especially important for students to acquire technical, relational and ethical skills, and are organised in healthcare and other care facilities in the provincial district of Varese and Como.

Lessons are held in Italian.
