Founded in 2003, the University of Luxembourg is the only public university in the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg. It is an international research university with a distinctly multilingual and interdisciplinary character.
The Faculty of Science, Technology, and Medicine at the University of Luxembourg strives for excellence in the education and research of medicine, biomedical sciences, and health professions. In 2023, the University launched four Bachelors of Science in specialized nursing programs - Bachelors in the fields of surgery, anaesthesia/resuscitation, paediatrics, and mental health. A fifth program ‘Bachelor of Nursing in General Care’ will start in September 2024, while two more specialties – Midwifery and Technical-medical assistant in Radiology - are set to commence in September 2025. These programs are organized by combining theoretical training using the latest technology with practical training in hospitals, outpatient clinics and care centers, in collaboration with various institutions in the country and abroad.
