Program structure & Content

Three competency levels – flexible timing

The curriculum is structured into three consecutive competency levels, each building on the previous one. This flexible design eliminates the traditional semester structure, allowing for a highly individualized study plan. Each level corresponds to approximately one academic year but can be adjusted in length to fit your personal and professional life. This allows for easy adaptation to your current work and life situation.

The use of specialized teaching and learning methods, along with "learning on demand" strategies, offers maximum flexibility to accommodate different learning styles. The innovative components of the learning platform include interactive and narrated learning programs, supplemented by specialized assessment systems and web conferencing (virtual classroom).

During in-person phases and exam periods, lecturers are available both on site and online, offering expert guidance in their fields and high-quality, personalized academic support. Additionally, learning progress checks allow for self-assessment of individual advancement.

In addition to acquiring scientific skills and the latest specialized knowledge, the program fosters critical reflection and the integration of theory with practice. Embedded within a modern research infrastructure, with a balanced focus on both research and teaching, theory and practice, the "Nursing Science Online" program provides a solid academic foundation.

 

Individuality in the virtual classroom

Apart from the minimal on-site requirements, there is dynamic interaction through participation in virtual classrooms. These virtual sessions, held via MS Teams, take place in small groups of no more than six students, ensuring personalized attention and support.
