L/SNT4 - Health professions for preventive care
The Bachelor?s degree programme in Health Assistance (degree class L/SNT4 - Health professions for preventive care) has a three-year duration.
The study plan includes both theoretical and practical classes as well as internships. Indeed, practical classes and internships are a critical part of the study plan: they are taken under the guidance of dedicated tutors and coordinated by top-tier, highly-qualified professors.
Graduates of the Bachelor?s degree programme in Health Assistance will acquire:
- the scientific knowledge base and theoretical and practical preparation to understand biological and hereditary phenomena, the functioning of organs and systems, and psychological, social and environmental factors;
- the basics of working as a healthcare assistant, and the rules and principles that govern the scope and responsibilities of this role;
- the bioethical, deontological and medico-legal principles inherent to the profession, and the cultural and professional values that determine how healthcare assistants think and act towards individual patients, families and the community (plus the ability to apply these principles and values while working at accredited community services, healthcare facilities and educational institutions);
- professional, decisional and operational autonomy, achieved as a result of a learning pathway informed by a holistic approach to health promotion, education and prevention (on an individual, family or community scale), which also takes into account the chemical, physical, biological, social and cultural environment to which the person, family or community is exposed;
- the ability to observe, identify and critically assess data on the health needs of individuals, families and the community, and to consequently define goals, set priorities of intervention and adopt the most suitable methodologies;
- knowledge, skills and experience to be able to plan, manage and assess the actions of the healthcare assistant;
- knowledge, skills and experience to be able to ensure the correct application of medical prescriptions and to promote health education and prevention measures:

- the amount of the second instalment varies according to each student's ISEE University value and the degree programme in which they are enrolled
- for international students with income and assets abroad, the second instalment varies according to their country of origin.
