Nursing

An international semester
Every autumn VIA University College, School of Nursing, offers an exchange semester where the language is English in both lectures and assignments. The semester is divided into two modules of 15 ECTS points each.

One module is focused on Health Promotion, Family Health and Community Health Care. The other module is focused on nursing for acute ill patients in the hospital.

In each semester, you will have both theory and clinical practice. The international semester takes place at Viborg Campus.

The international semester is open to all nursing students. The payment of tution fees varies according to where you come from.

Every semester some of the students from our own schools join the international semester improving their English skills and gaining intercultural competences.

We guarantee that during your international semester, you will be challenged. We can also guarantee that it requires your attention and effort in learning.

However, you will be given so much from the relation with the patients, the supervisors, the lectures and the fellow students which you will meet at the faculty. 

Other possibilities for exchange
If your university or school has a cooperation agreement with VIAUC, another possibility is to do exchange in one module or for a whole semester at one of the campuses with nursing courses in VIA or doing an exchange in a clinical setting.

If you are from a Scandinavian country, you will be able to understand lecturing in Danish, and you will have possibility of doing your assignments in your own language.
