Nursing

As a nurse, you truly make a difference. You support people in both challenging and joyful moments. At VIVES, we train you in clinical care, communication, teamwork, and organisation – all with one goal: to provide the highest quality care.

At VIVES Bruges, Belgium, you can complete the Nursing programme entirely in English. Join an international group and earn a degree that opens doors to opportunities worldwide. 

• Learn to think like a nurse. Step by step you'll develop essential skills such as observation, clinical reasoning and leadership. These will help you recognise warning signs early and respond effectively.
• Explore all fields of nursing: primary and community health care, surgery, internal medicine, mental health, elderly care, mother and child, and paediatrics.
• Internships from the very first year. Over four years, you’ll complete 2,300 hours of clinical placement in hospitals and other healthcare settings.
• Practice in a safe learning environment, where making mistakes is part of the process. Small group sessions with personal support provide you with extensive hands-on clinical experience.
• Learn from a diverse teaching team of passionate lecturers and experts by experience. Their real-life examples and simulation training provide a strong connection to clinical practice.
