Degree Programme in Nursing
If you enjoy working with people in a multi-professional environment, relish responsibility, are willing to develop and are looking for a meaningful job, then nursing could be what you are looking for!
A broad field
The aim of the degree programme in nursing is to educate competent nurses with good knowledge of encountering, supervising and caring for patients with different degrees of health and illness. The education provides you with competence to act in different caring settings, from open counseling centres to intensive care units. You can choose to work with children, youth, grown-ups or elderly in Finland, the rest of the Nordic countries or even more internationally.
Within the degree programme in Nursing you will study nursing (e.g. internal- and surgical nursing, pediatric nursing, mental health and –nursing), medicine and natural sciences (e.g. anatomy and physiology). You will also learn basics in research and developmental work as well as leadership. The studies are carried out in close cooperation with working life, e.g. through projects carried out both individually and in groups.
Modern technology
Modern technology is used in teaching and theoretical lessons are varied with computer based self-studies, practical skills training in class, simulations and clinical training in working life. The simulations are carried out in Arcada’s Patient Safety and Learning Center with the support of medical doctors and real nurses. About 50% of the studies are carried out as practical training in different nursing settings and in open counseling centres.
Qualifies for EU competence
The learning process advances from basic nursing skills and nursing in different contexts (medical, surgical and psychiatric nursing, nursing of women and children) to extended studies in e.g. rehabilitation, elderly care, mental health or leadership. The degree programme will qualify students as registered nurses with EU competence. The curriculum is based on caring science with multidisciplinary elements from natural sciences (medicine), social and behavioral sciences.
Job opportunities
A nursing degree prepares you for a job working with people and an almost guaranteed employment in various milieus within health and nursing. The need for health services is continuously growing in our society. Alongside community service, an increasing amount of private health care organisations are established, and add to the need for health care personnel.
After graduation you can work with health promotion or with critically ill patients in hospitals or open care. You can work in municipals or in private organisations, as an employee or by starting your own company. You can work in Finland or abroad. The education holds a very good international standard.
Extension studies give you possibilities to specialize in for example rehabilitation or management and leadership.
