Our BSN Curriculum
Below is the full-time, four-year Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) curriculum at our university. Our curriculum
follows a concept-based approach, moving beyond traditional lecture-based instruction. Instead of presenting subjects in isolation, we analyze
health-related, nursing, and patient-centered issues through an integrated, top-down framework. Each course is centered around overarching
concepts that connect multiple disciplines, allowing students to understand the interrelationships within healthcare rather than viewing
topics as standalone subjects.
This approach means that courses and learning modules are not always delivered in a linear, one-course-at-a-time format. Instead, students explore
interconnected themes, applying their knowledge across various scenarios and clinical contexts. As a result, while the curriculum overview provides
a structured outline, the actual learning experience is dynamic and immersive, fostering critical thinking and a deeper understanding of the
complexities of modern healthcare.
One European Credit Transfer System (ECTS – non UK) credit represent an average of 28 hours, per semester.
One US credit represents an average of 45 hours, per semester.
One US credit is calculated as the equivalent of two ECTS credits.
