| Recommended optional programme components | If necessary, the student advisor will recommend optional programme components for each student based on their individual study plan. |
| Accomplishment methods | Written Examination |
| Execution methods | In the domain of Chronic Care Nursing, the course will be executed through a combined approach of theoretical and skills development. Theoretical aspects will be conducted through a hybrid lecture format coupled with opportunities for international collaborative engagement. Complementary to this, the skills practice will encompass practices such as public speaking, debates, and completion of written assignments, all underscored by the application of critical thinking methodologies. |
| Materials | Evidence-based materials will be available in the online learning environment. |
