The professional higher education study programme Nursing Care was accredited in 2007 (decision of the Council for Higher Education of the Republic of Slovenia No. 2/59-2007) and has been implemented since the 2008/2009 academic year as full-time and part-time studies.
The study programme was changed for the first time in the academic year 2015/16, and the second change will be implemented from the academic year 2024/25. The change is based on the experience and analysis of the implementation of the study programme during the entire period of implementation. During the renovation, we took into account Directive 2005/36/ EC, supplemented by Directive 2013/ 55/ EU and EFN guidelines, which define the content and scope of the study programme and the competencies that students must acquire during their studies. The programme is also designed in accordance with the Act on Higher Education and the Bologna Guidelines.
The study programme enables students to gain theoretical and expert knowledge and to develop their competences for:
Graduates shall acquire knowledge and develop skills that are necessary for providing nursing care in a high-quality and responsible manner. They shall be qualified to plan, implement and evaluate processes and activities in their professional environment. They shall gain the knowledge necessary for carrying out educational activities in health promotion and disease prevention. They shall develop communication, organisational and management skills to become team players and gain the necessary clinical experience for high-quality, safe rational and effective professional work.
