Exchange programme | Nursing (Mechelen)

Nurses are called SUPERHERO’S these days and that is for a reason. Would you like to join our team of superhero’s?
The nursing programme in Mechelen offers you well arranged internship opportunities in various healthcare settings. You can choose the amount of hours you need to fit into your own study programme at home. In addition, you can add some interesting interdisciplinary or field specific courses taught in English. Most students choose to stay a semester to combine both opportunities and integrate well in the nursing student life.

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. 

• We have explained the most important courses in a blue tooltip.  
• Would you like to know the detailed content of each subject? Check the programme guide. 
• Courses marked with a * are offered fully online. This means you don't have to physically come to Belgium to take these courses.

• Only third and fourth year nursing students are eligible for an exchange in our programme.
• Minimum level English B2 or Dutch.

Most elective courses are evaluated based on an assignment to work on during the semester.
