AUTUMN and SPRING SEMESTER
COURSE DESCRIPTIONS |2020-2021
Dear exchange student Great that you are interested in an exchange experience with the nursing or midwifery department at Thomas More campus Turnhout. Most of you take part in one of the European Commission’s educational programmes, such as Erasmus . +. Others are visiting Thomas More in the framework of an exchange agreement at faculty level between your home university and Thomas More University of Applied Sciences. As an exchange student, you remain enrolled at your home university while spending a few weeks or months at Thomas More, free of charge. You can only study at Thomas More as an exchange student if your home institution has a formal exchange agreement with Thomas More. Besides the possibility of doing a traineeship we offer two types of courses: • Interdisciplinary courses offered to all Thomas More University of Applied Sciences incoming students (Star Track programme), and • Specific courses in the bachelor of nursing / midwifery education.

COURSES

/ / /
2. Elective courses
We don’t offer a compulsory course. But besides a traineeship in nursing or midwifery of
10, 15 or 20 ECTS, students can choose courses for a maximum of 30 ECTS per semester.
We offer two types of courses:
• Interdisciplinary courses offered to all Thomas More University of Applied Sciences
incoming students, and
• Specific courses in the bachelor of nursing / midwifery education.
As (intercultural) communication is very important in nursing and midwifery practice we
advise you to choose the course Survival Dutch and the course Intercultural communication
(Star Track programme: https://www.thomasmore.be/star-track )
We recommend strongly to attend the course Tour of Flanders (only in the second
semester). As you get a broader view on health care in Flanders and you will get to know
other Erasmus students in Flanders. For more information and application please go to the
website: https://associatie.kuleuven.be/p/flandershealthcare
The course ‘Medical English’, is created especially for those students who are not native
English speakers.
Please read the entry requirements of every course in the course list carefully before
applying. Thomas More remains the right to change the learning agreement upon arrival if
the student doesn’t meet the requirements to enter the course.
The combination of courses can be restricted by planning issues (as courses will be
provided in different campuses) and will be communicated in forehand!
Welcome days will be organized in campus Geel- in the first and second semester.
