Οργάνωση
Strucure of studies

The Undergraduate Program of the Department of Nursing is governed by the provisions of L1268 / 1982 and was formulated in accordance with the decision G.5 / 89656 / Β3 / 13.8.2007 of the Minister of National Education and Religions (B 1466).

The program is divided into 8 semesters (4 winter and 4 spring) and includes 39 compulsory and 20 optional compulsory courses.

The total credits of the undergraduate educational program CU (CREDIT UNITS) - ECTS are 240 and have been calculated based on the workload of the courses, since 1 ECTS corresponds to 25-30 hours of workload.  The practical exercises (workshops, tutorials, clinical practice) constitute about 50% of the duration of the study program and correspond to 108 ECTS.

The minimum duration of studies leading to a degree is 4 academic years.  

Students' studies are accompanied by the Nursing Skills book, which includes a list of nursing skills that the student must perform successfully during their studies.​
