Bachelor in Nursing

The Bachelor of Nursing program at the Medical University of Silesia in Katowice is taught in English over three years, spanning six semesters. The program's description draws on the International Council of Nurses' definition of nursing as the autonomous and collaborative care of individuals of all ages, families, groups, and communities, whether sick or well, encompassing health promotion, illness prevention, and the care of ill, disabled, and dying people. Nursing roles also extend to education, promoting a safe environment, research, and participation in shaping health policy and health systems management. According to the program's own description, nurses form the largest professional group among medical professions and one of the most varied in terms of responsibilities, with work spanning health promotion, prophylaxis, diagnostics, nursing care, and therapeutic and mobilizing techniques. The profession involves supporting healthy individuals in maintaining wellbeing, helping sick patients recover, and, where recovery is not possible, ensuring a peaceful and dignified death. Nursing activity is directed not only at individuals, families, and groups, but at society more broadly. Graduates can pursue ongoing professional development across a wide range of settings, including patients' own homes, outpatient clinics, and highly specialized hospital departments, without the work becoming repetitive given the breadth of possible roles. The program combines biomedical science, clinical skills training, and supervised placements typical of nursing education, preparing students for registration and practice as nurses. Katowice, a major city in the Silesian region of southern Poland, hosts the Medical University of Silesia as one of the country's established medical schools, offering this nursing program as part of its English-language provision for international students.
