ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS
In order to be admitted to the Degree Course in Nursing it is necessary to have attained an upper secondary school diploma or another qualification obtained abroad that is recognised as suitable.
The degree course in Nursing is programmed on a national level pursuant to Article 1 of Law 264/1999; the provisions on programming on a national level issued annually by the Ministry of University and Research (MUR) and set out in the competition notices apply to it.
Furthermore, the course requires the possession or acquisition of an adequate initial preparation, in accordance with the provisions of the regulations in force concerning access to courses with a nationwide programmed number. The admission test has a selective function and is also aimed at verifying the possession of adequate initial preparation; it is organised by the Faculty on the basis of the provisions issued each year by the Ministry of Education.
The procedures and duration of the test are set out in the Ministerial Decree, which also defines the programme, contents and procedures.
Additional training obligations will be assigned in the subjects of Biology, Chemistry and Physics, to be met in the first year of the course, to students admitted to the course with a mark below a pre-established minimum mark, established each year by the Class Council and set out in the call for applications.
FINAL DISSERTATION
The final dissertation, discussed before a Commission appointed by the competent academic authority and composed in accordance with the law, includes:
- a practical test, in which the student must demonstrate the ability to handle a professional situation;
- the preparation and presentation of a paper on an assigned topic written under the guidance of a Supervisor.
The two graduation sessions are normally set in the period March-April and October-November by decree of the Ministry, University and Research in agreement with the Ministry of Labour, Health and Social Policies.
All the educational activities provided in the three years of the degree course syllabus, including elective activities and internship, contribute to the definition of the final mark. Computer Laboratory, knowledge of the English language and seminar activities are excluded.
The curricular average in thirtieths is calculated as a weighted average of the CFUs of the examinations taken and recorded with a mark in 110ths. The curricular average in 110ths is calculated by multiplying the curricular average in thirtieths by 11 and dividing it by 3. The average in 110ths will be rounded to the nearest whole number. To this value the Degree Committee may add up to a further 11 points, averaged over the following two parameters:
- a maximum 11 points for the practical test
- a maximum of 11 points for dissertation and presentation of ‘research’ dissertations and a maximum of 6 points for compilation-type dissertations; a dissertation is considered a research dissertation when it uses analyses consistent with the chosen study design (statistical analysis for quantitative data and text analysis for qualitative data) to develop its results.
Honours may be awarded by unanimous decision of the committee provided that the student has obtained 110/110 and has at least two honours in their curriculum vitae.
The modality of implementation of the final examination and its timing are defined in the academic calendar, published on the University website and communicated by the Student Administration Office.
