This bilingual Bachelor's degree in Nursing is aimed at immigrants hoping to enter the labour market here in Finland. You need no Finnish language skills to start with, but the degree is structured so that by the time of graduation you will be able to work in health care services using the Finnish language. In the beginning, the studies will mostly be conducted in English, with Finnish language teaching gradually taking over. 

The studies will provide you with the skills needed in varied health care settings. During the degree studies, the latest research and evidence-based nursing practices will be integrated with hands-on professional skills. The curriculum is based on EU directives and the qualification complies with the European standards.
