The Degree in Nursing and the Master's Degree in Chronicity and Dependence from the TecnoCampus School of Health Sciences obtained in 2017 the favorable accreditation by the Agency for the Quality of the University System of Catalonia ( AQU). Accreditation is the verification, from an external visit, that the degree is being developed as planned in the verification.
With this recognition, degrees from the centre guarantee teaching quality to the standard set by the agency for all universities.
A student-centered degree
As a centre affiliated to Pompeu Fabra University, the Tecnocampus School of Health Sciences offers a student and person-centred curriculum, with generalised training, oriented to practice, the development of critical thinking, the achievement of autonomy and professional responsibility. Research and scientific evidence will be fundamental tools for deepening nursing knowledge and essential in the student learning process.
The 160 theoretical ECTS are carried out with diverse teaching methodologies and continuous assessment, which allows the student to play an active role during their training.
From the beginning of the degree, clinical simulation is used in the facilities of the Centre for Simulation and Innovation in Health to expand and replace real experiences with controlled experiences, which reproduce the substantial aspects of a situation with maximum realism. For this reason, simulation is a core part of the course, for quality learning and skills acquisition.

Out of the 80 ECTS of the Nursing practicum, 50 are carried out in the 4th year of the Degree. The design of real practices at this level is approached with an integrative vision: process monitoring. This is structured in itineraries where the student can collaborate with health professionals addressing different and complex processes in the levels of care and services where patient care is provided.
practicum
The training of the Degree in Nursing prepares the students to face the complex, problematic, and difficult to predict situations, having a reflective capacity. For this reason, the training emphasizes the development of skills, to provide a professional intervention according to the uniqueness of the person and their environment.
The external internships of the Degree in Nursing of the School of Health Sciences have an important and essential weight in the teaching load, with a total of 80 ECTS. Excellence without practice is not easy to achieve, which is why external internships are carried out in the leading health institutions in the Maresme, Barcelonès and Vallès Oriental areas. Each of them offers different degrees of specialization and has peculiarities that allow the student to experience different areas of knowledge related to the practice of care, and also areas where the nurse carries out an autonomous role, such as management and research.
In the last academic year, the student is offered the opportunity to do the internship in itinerary format and according to their concerns and interests. These itineraries allow the patient to be monitored throughout their pathological process in all its complexity, in health or disease. They treat both individuals and communities, in all dimensions and approaches to care.

96% of job placement of graduate students
The degree in Nursing prepares and trains for competitive job placement in different professional fields. Society will always need health professionals, including and in particular, nurses, in order to attend to the health needs of the population.
Nursing develops its professional activity in:
- Health
- Teaching
- Management
- Areas of research
- Free development of the profession
- Entrepreneurship
The different activities are carried out in Institutions like:
- Catalan Health Service (Cat Salut) and its public centers and consortia
- Hospitals of the Hospital Network for Public Use (XHUP)
- Primary Care Centers
- Regional health services of the regional administrations and municipalities
- Clinics, Offices and private hospitals
- Work and accident mutual societies
- Retirement homes
- Associations of the chronically ill, foundations, NGOs
- Companies
- Freely Exercising the Profession
We want to emphasize that, at this time of economic and structural crisis the situation of the future professionals of nursing is immersed in a process of adaptation to new scenarios in health.
In this context the profile of a versatile nursing professional, with quality training in all areas of care, teaching, research and management becomes an alternative to take into account in the new scenarios that health care will see develop and evolve in the coming years.
Undoubtedly, nurses with a solid background will be able to carry out their professional practice in this new framework, which will make it necessary to have a renewed nurse present in all areas.

1. The why of a tutorial space
Research and practical reflection on the tutorial function at the University is an open field in which an experimental theoretical corpus is beginning to be formed in recent years. Today's society demands not only professionals theoretical and practical knowledge (knowing and knowing how to do), but also skills related to knowing how to be and knowing how to be.
This is where the tutoring space acquires relevance in terms of the educative and socializing function, one more function within teaching that contributes to the integral development of the person.
2. The PAT at the School of Health Sciences
The Governing Council of Pompeu Fabra University (UPF) approved on July 13, 2011 the Regulations for Tutoring of Undergraduate Students. In this line and within the methodological and curricular adaptation in which the universities are immersed, the tutorial action represents a relevant and effective teaching action in the student learning process. For this reason, UPF is committed to a comprehensive tutoring model where various aspects are taken into account that can affect the student's learning throughout the years of study.
The School of Health Sciences, as a center attached to the UPF, considers the need for students to have a Tutorial Action Plan (PAT)
The PAT was created with the aim of promoting the integration and involvement of students in the ESCST. This is an educational action that is being carried out to provide university students with support and advice from the beginning to the end of their university career.
3. Objectives of the PAT
The tutorial action must satisfy both the objectives of the student and those of the university. The purpose of the tutorials is:
- Ensure the adaptation of students to the university.
Adapting students to the first term of the first year is essential to reduce early school leaving and frustration.
- Stimulate study and academic performance.
It is important to offer students specific support for the studies they have chosen to pursue, providing them with tools and resources that will help them enhance their development of their academic and professional itinerary.
- Help in situations of personal or study difficulty.
Sometimes, there are personal situations that affect the good follow-up of studies. The tutor must support the student so that he / she can overcome them. If personal problems are important, the tutor may recommend psycho-pedagogical help.
4. Modalities of tutoring
Tutoring can take the following forms:
- Individualized tutoring. This type of tutoring allows student support based on the personal and direct relationship with the tutor. It can be at the request of the student and / or the tutor.
- Group tutoring, previously planned, is carried out to work on either cross-cutting issues (curriculum, itineraries ...), or common issues between group members.
In reference to the development of the tutorials, there are three ways: face-to-face, telematic and mixed.
- In class, through direct interviews, both individual and group. At times agreed between the student and the tutor.
- Telematics, by email or video conference.
- Mixed, if both of the above modes are used.
The tutor has a special involvement in situations such as:
- Regime of dedication to part-time study.
- Special educational needs.
- Elite athletes.
- Risk of academic failure, defined as exhaustion of two calls for a subject.
- Other situations that, in the opinion of the school principal, advise strict supervision.
