The Bachelor of Science (Hons) Nursing prepares learners with the necessary competences and qualifications required to register as a first level nurse both in Malta and in all EU member states. This entails the provision of safe and effective care delivered in an evidence-based, holistic manner to patients and their significant others. The learners will pursue a minimum of 4600 hours over a three-year period, as stipulated by EU Directive 2005/36/EC. These are divided into 2300 theoretical hours and 2300 practice hours, most of which are carried out on clinical placements, and are supervised by qualified nurse mentors. The learners will be equipped with an evidence-based skill set and soft skills that will enable them to be fully capable of practicing independently. Learners must cover all the necessary hours and obtain a pass in all theoretical and practical units to be able to apply for registration with the Nursing and Midwifery Council of Malta. This course is recognised across all the EU member states. Applicants will be subject to a valuesbased interview, followed by the presentation of an occupational health-screening certificate and a clean police conduct certificate. These documents will serve to establish the suitability of applicants for Nursing and ultimately act towards the final selection of course participants.
