Nursing is fast becoming a sought-after occupation and in recent times the demand for nurses have soared to astronomical heights. One of the problems students, especially English-speaking students seeking to study abroad have in finding the right nursing programmes to apply for is finding affordable universities with English-taught programmes.
In many popular native English-speaking countries, tuition fee for nursing programmes can be as high as 15,000 euros to 40,000 euros or even more per academic year. This amount might be out of reach and discouraging for many students who cannot afford it.
European universities are well recognized and respected all over the world for their high standard of education and getting a degree from a good European university is a right step in your career destination and getting it for a fraction of what it would usually cost in other countries is even better.
