Examination Methods

The final examination is integrated with the courses "Clinical Nursing Methodology" and "Surgical Care" and consists of a written part with 15 closed questions with multiple-choice answer, completion, or open short- answers and an oral discussion.
The examination will cover all the topics in the programme. The questions are aimed at assessing the level of knowledge acquired, the ability to argue and the ability to apply the content to case-situations.
The written exam is preliminary to the oral discussion: only students who correctly answer 9 out of 15 questions in the written exam will be admitted to the oral discussion.
If the number of students in the session is limited, the Examination Committee reserves the right to proceed directly with the oral discussion.

Students with disabilities or specific learning disorders (SLD), who intend to request the adaptation of the exam, must follow the instructions given HERE
