A Family Nursing course is included as core in all areas of concentration. The University also offers a Doctoral Program. Doctoral students take approximately 40 credits after the master's degree plus dissertation credits. The master's degree program builds upon a basic nursing program completed elsewhere. It takes 4 years of study, includes the equivalent of a bachelor's degree, and ends with the master's degree.
Students also take basic and social science courses.
Student learning is self-directed. It occurs through seminars, essays, and individual study in related-fields. Students develop a portfolio of their written work, incorporating themes, comments, and a learning diary. UT is the only university in Europe where students can study Family Nursing at both the masters and doctoral levels. The University also has a Medical School and the Nursing faculty contributes to their education.
