Program Description

The Higher Diploma in Healthcare(120 ECTS) aims to enrol carers interested in continuing their education and embark on the course to lead them to a career in nursing studies. Thus the aim of this course is to serve as a permeability channel between vocational EQF/MQF level 4 education and education to an academic EQF/MQF Level 6 degree in nursing. The knowledge, both theoretical and practical will enhance their competencies and introduce them to the nursing role carried out through observation and assistance in practice.

This course does not certify a healthcare worker as a qualified nurse. The qualification at the end of this course will be a Higher Diploma in Healthcare. Should the student wish to leave the course, individual awards for every module with the respective ECTS will be awarded.
