Bachelor in Nursing

Nursing prepares students to provide direct clinical care to patients across a wide range of health conditions and settings, combining scientific knowledge with hands-on caregiving skills. This bachelor's program in Nursing is delivered in English at Universita degli Studi della Campania Luigi Vanvitelli, in Caserta, Italy, and lasts 3 years. The curriculum typically covers anatomy, physiology, pharmacology, and pathology as a scientific foundation, alongside clinical subjects such as medical-surgical nursing, pediatric nursing, mental health nursing, and care of older adults. Students also study nursing ethics, health assessment techniques, infection prevention, and the organizational and legal aspects of professional nursing practice. Clinical placements form a core part of the program, giving students supervised experience in hospital departments, outpatient services, and community health settings where they practice patient assessment, medication administration, and coordinated care planning. Communication and teamwork are emphasized throughout, since nurses routinely work alongside physicians, other health professionals, and patients' families to manage care. Graduates are qualified to work as registered nurses in hospitals, clinics, long-term care facilities, and community and home health services, delivering direct patient care and supporting broader treatment plans. Many nurses go on to specialize in fields such as intensive care, surgical nursing, oncology, or pediatrics, while others pursue further study toward nursing education, management, or public health roles. As a regulated health profession, nursing generally requires graduates to obtain licensure in the country where they intend to work. Completing this bachelor's degree in English allows international students to train within Italy's healthcare system while preparing for a globally relevant nursing career.
