Yes, you can apply for a nursing course in Europe after completing five years in health care science. Most European universities consider prior education and experience, but eligibility varies by country and institution.

- Language requirements: Many programs require proficiency in the local language or English (such as IELTS). Some, like in Finland, may require Finnish at B1 level.
- Academic background: Your previous qualifications and any professional experience will be assessed.
- Program structure: Nursing courses usually include both classroom learning and practical clinical placements.

Admission criteria and language requirements are subject to change. For tailored guidance, connect with your LeapScholar counsellor.
