Program structure:

The studies include the following two programs:

• with a thesis
• without a thesis

1. There will be no switching from the non-thesis program to the thesis program.
2. Admission to the thesis program will be based on the admission exams. The department has the final decision about acceptance to each program.

Tracks:

• Management  track
• Women's  and Family Health track

Students will indicate their choice of program and track according their priority in the personal details form. There is no switching from one program to another.

Each track of study has a limited quota of students. Students will be placed according to their request but the department has the right to make the final decision.

The opening of a track depends on the number of applicants and the internal considerations of the nursing department. The department is not committed to open all tracks of study each year.
