Exchange programme | Nursing and Midwifery (Lier)

In the field of nursing and midwifery, it is no longer possible to ignore the international aspect. That is why we focus on internationalisation and exchange in these programmes.
We don’t offer a compulsory course. But besides a traineeship in nursing or midwifery, students can choose courses for a maximum of 30 ECTS per semester. We offer two types of courses:

• Interdisciplinary courses offered to all Thomas More University of Applied Sciences incoming students.
• Specific courses in the bachelor of nursing / midwifery education.

As (intercultural) communication is very important in nursing and midwifery practice we advise you to choose the course Survival Dutch. We recommend strongly to attend the course Tour of Flanders (only in the second semester). As you get a broader view on health care in Flanders and you will get to know other Erasmus students in Flanders.

The course ‘Medical English’, is created especially for those students who are not native English speakers.

The academic year in a nutshell

Below you can find an overview of the courses ( under reservation of changes), with the number of credits per phase. Credits express how many hours you need on average to process the subject matter (incl. lessons). Count about 25 to 30 hours for 1 study credit.

• The combination of courses can be restricted by planning issues (as courses will be provided in different campuses) and will be communicated in forehand!

• Courses marked with a * are offered fully online. This means you don't have to physically come to Belgium to take these courses.

There are no specific pre-requisites for this programme.
