Bachelor's Degree in Nursing Abroad
If until a few years ago the hypothesis of being able to obtain a Nursing degree abroad It was a remote possibility, today this reality is increasingly concrete. Every year, hundreds of students decide to undertake this path in one of the countries of the European Union.
The reasons? On the one hand, the increasingly difficult access to Italian universities due to very high competition between students and a small number of places made available through selective entrance tests. On the other hand, the increasing ease of exchange between European countries desired and sanctioned by numerous Directives , Legislative Decrees and bilateral agreements that make it easier for students to move within the European territory.
Let’s see in detail what you need to do to study nursing abroad and how you can proceed for the recognition of the qualification in Italy.
Nursing abroad: what you need to know
If you have a secondary school diploma and a good knowledge of the English language, you have all the credentials to be able to access a degree course in nursing at a foreign university.
At this point you will have two options: start and finish the course of study abroad, including the practical internship, or start the course of study abroad to subsequently request a transfer to Italy by taking advantage of one of the calls for transfer that are announced every year by Italian universities.
Thanks to online platforms and interactive teaching, you will be able to attend part of your course of study in Italy.
At this point you will be able to obtain a degree in nursing. If you have graduated in Italy, you will be able to proceed directly with all the requirements for the exercise of the profession. If, on the other hand, you obtained your qualification abroad, you will have to apply to the Ministry of Health for the recognition of your qualification.
