Programme profile

The aim of the degree programme in nursing is to educate students to become competent nurses with good knowledge of encountering, supervising and caring for patients with diﾭfferent degrees of health and illness.

The education provides you with competence to act in different caring settings, from open counselling centres to intensive care units. You can choose to work with children, youth, grown-ups or elderly in Finland or more internationally. Within the degree programme in nursing you will study nursing (e.g. internal and surgical nursing, paediatric nursing, mental health nursing), medicine and natural sciences (e.g. anatomy and physiology).

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 programme will qualify students as registered nurses.

Arcada has a network of 90 institutes of higher education worldwide. If you are interested in completing part of your degree in another country, this is a unique opportunity
