The course in Nursing and Midwifery Sciences aims to train professionals with advanced skills in the management of clinical care processes related to care outcomes. The master's degree graduate is a professional able to analyse and solve complex situations, to evaluate in interprofessional terms solutions to unsolved problems, to organise innovative care services based on the most up-to-date scientific research available.

The teaching methodologies base learning on the development of critical thinking and problem solving. In the classroom, Problem Based Learning (PBL) sessions, workshops and journal clubs are offered.

At the University's Advanced Simulation Centre - SIMAV teamwork scenarios are played out with subsequent debriefing supported by video recordings.

Master's degree graduates of Class LM_SNT/1 intervene in clinical care, management, organisational, educational and research processes in the field relevant to the nursing, midwifery and paediatric nursing professions. 

The master's degree also provides access to subsequent educational pathways: research doctorates, specialisation, university master's degrees, etc.

Through in-depth study of the discipline and analysis of scientific research evidence, students acquire advanced care, educational and preventive skills in response to priority health and service quality problems.

They are able to identify the needs of the population and to plan a coherent response of the health services, to coordinate personnel management programmes in the health area and to develop new methods of work organisation, bearing in mind technological and IT innovation and national and European Union operating standards.

The approach to care governance issues is integrated with the other competences of the health care area.
