Degree in Nursing

Studying at the CEU UCH means choosing a University which is  different  both in the ‘what’ and the ‘how’. We offer a combination of  experience  and  innovation . It is about being truly  international  and yet with strong local roots. In short, we can offer you  everything you need  to be whatever you want to be.

What makes us different?

A bilingual education

If you are interested in being taught in both English and Spanish in order to enrich your future professional profile, we offer the possibility of taking the first year in English and then continuing teaching in Spanish for the rest of the degree. Our itinerary also adapts to every need:

• For non-native Spanish students : during the first year all subjects are taught in English, except for 18 ECTS (which will be taken the following year) where instead we offer the student a module to support their Spanish language learning, which will help them adapt to teaching in Spanish later on in their degree.
• For native Spanish students : during the first year all subjects are taken in English, except 18 ECTS that are taught in Spanish.

Professionals in the classroom

Because we understand that in order to become a  good nurse , you have to be in contact with  the best professionals  right from day one. That is why many of our professors are outstanding practicing nurses working in  hospitals and health centers .

The four doors to employability

• Placements at the heart of the curriculum: this way we can ensure you know how to "do nursing" from the first year. Your initial "know-how" puts you in the best position to make the most of external placements. This way, you add value to the healthcare centers in which you will undertake placements during the second year.
• Enrichment Program in preparation for the EIR: if you see your professional future in the Spanish healthcare system, during the fourth year you will be able to participate in our program to begin your preparation to becoming an enfermero Interno Residente (EIR). This way, whilst you finish your degree, you will begin preparations in order to gain a place in the Spanish public health system. Of course, participating in this program to improve your qualifications is voluntary and does not imply any additional cost.
• Certificate in Communicative and Assistance Competencies for Nursing (CCAE): experts say that the ability to communicate and manage personal relationships is the key to being an outstanding professional nurse. Therefore, through our training course, you will become competent in this area and it will also be certificated through the CCAE.
• The international dimension of nursing: we are constantly increasing the number of international placements available in the United Kingdom, Germany, and other countries in Central Europe.
• Free online training in specialized English for nursing (if you need it) from the third year in order to adjust your level to professional requirements.
• Opportunities to undertake international nursing placements . One example is the agreement we have signed with King's College Hospital in London, through which our nursing students have access to internships and this also puts them in an advantageous position for their personnel selection process (including fast-track to the interview).
