About the program/cycle of studies

The Nursing Degree works according to the process of adaptation to Bologna, with a duration of 4 academic years (8 semesters) for a total of 240 ECTS.  

The study plan for the Nursing Degree Course, taught at the Escola Superior de Saúde do Vale do Ave, is structured with different curricular units, semester and / or annual, with theoretical, theoretical-practical, laboratory practices, tutorial guidance and teaching clinical. Theoretical and clinical teaching are articulated in time, so that the second one develops as close as possible to the theoretical component that corresponds to it.

 

Student proactivity is an integral part of the educational project. Early students promote the development of crucial (interpersonal and systemic) skills to respond to social expectations. They develop their training in interdisciplinary and articulated contexts, at national and international level, which promotes socialization and the ability to work as a team.
