Expanding their studies through the e-learning system was a golden opportunity that rendered health science students more effective in their professions, according to graduate Veronica Montebello.
Ms Montebello was speaking at this year’s 15th graduation ceremony, held at the University of Malta yesterday.
For the first time, 55 healthcare professionals – including 53 nurses, one dental hygienist and one physiotherapist – graduated from the University of Malta’s undergraduate e-learning programme.
More than 40 chose to complete the programme over three years and 12 completed it in two.
Its aim is to enable healthcare professionals to upgrade theirtraditional or diploma-level professional qualification to a bachelor-level academic qualification.
Most of the teaching took place online through the university’s virtual learning platform.
