Second-Cycle Studies in Nursing – Responding to the Needs of the Healthcare Sector
The launch of second-cycle (master’s) studies in Nursing at AKSiM (USMC) is a direct response to the current needs of the labour market and the evolving socio-demographic situation in Poland, Europe, and globally. Nursing remains one of the most in-demand professions.
The need for advanced education in nursing is driven by rapid developments in medical and social sciences, the evolution of nursing as an academic discipline, systemic changes in healthcare, and growing societal expectations of the profession.
The educational concept of the master’s program is designed to foster the professional development of students—preparing qualified, competent, and mobile graduates with specialized knowledge, advanced practical skills, and strong social competencies in healthcare. The program’s core objective is to deliver cutting-edge medical knowledge and practical training, enabling graduates to provide top-quality nursing services while ensuring the safety of both patients and practitioners. It also emphasizes ethical conduct, moral integrity, and the ability to manage one’s own work and lead teams effectively.
The curriculum aligns with both national and European standards for nursing competencies.
