Why in Parma?
The course boasts a strong and ever-growing index of attractiveness, due to the educational value of the theoretical lessons characterised by a multidisciplinary vocation in the fields of management, research, training, didactic and advanced clinical areas (nursing/obstetric clinical management experiences).
Great importance is given to internship experiences, as positively noted by the evaluations of students and graduates. Internship experiences are organised on a 1:1 basis with senior figures of the specific professional profile, in line with the priorities of the course.
Throughout the course students benefit from the constant support of a tutor who will follow them from enrolment to graduation. Attendance at lectures is compulsory for 60% of each block (or integrated course), to allow entry also to working students.
The University provides annual scholarships for students who wish to participate in tutoring activities.
