ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS
In order to be admitted to the Bachelor's Degree in Nursing, the student must have attained a high school diploma or other qualification obtained abroad that is recognized as eligible.
The Bachelor's Degree in Nursing is nationally programmed in accordance with Art. 1 of Law 264/1999, referred to by the provisions on nationwide programming issued annually by the Ministry of University and Research (MUR) and stated in the notices of competition.
In order to be admitted to the degree program, the candidates must pass an admission test that certifies the possession of adequate initial preparation in accordance with the provisions of current regulations regarding access to courses with programmed numbers at the national level. The admission test has a selective function and is organized by the faculty on the basis of provisions issued annually by the MUR.
The modalities and duration of the test are set out in the Ministerial Decree, which also defines the syllabus, content and modality of implementation of the test.
The students admitted to the bachelor's degree with a grade lower than a predetermined minimum grade, established each year by the class council and stated in the announcement, must fulfill additional educational requirements in the subjects of biology, chemistry and physics within the first year.
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.
