Students spend the fourth year of study at a university overseas.
All existing arrangements for the Bachelor of Nursing apply to the combined degree program. Purpose of the course The combined degree program in Nursing and International Studies provides nursing students with a knowledge and understanding of another language and culture. Apart from its wider educational goals, there are two practical consequences of the program. The first is that it provides graduate nurses with specific skills in their chosen language and culture. The second and possibly more important consequence is that it makes nurses more aware of the need for intercultural sensitivities, not only through studying another language and culture, but also by living in another society for a period of time.
