Development of Expertise

In Savonia's curricula, the courses form broader study modules. In this way, they support the overall development of the student and the development of expertise. At the same time, it is possible to combine teaching and work-based research and development.

The public health nurse / nurse curriculum is designed to ensure:
- the skills required in working life and
- the development of the student's expertise.

Student
- prepares a personal study plan to support his / her studies, in which the previously acquired competence is identified (includes at least 5 ECTS credits of studying in a foreign language).
- is responsible for the progress of his / her studies.
Savonia teachers and other staff guide and support in defining and achieving personal goals.

The development of a public health nurse / nurse student's expertise starts with familiarization with nursing and progresses through development and deepening into a public health nursing / nursing practitioner. The annual themes and their competency level descriptions, as well as the semester themes and the competence objectives of the themes, help the learner to plan and assess their professional growth and focus on learning core knowledge and skills as well as ethical principles. Learning is a goal-oriented, situational and interactive activity. This requires identifying the student’s own goals and objectives. After completing the degree and having sufficient work experience, it is possible to apply for a master's degree.
