New nursing master's degrees at the University of Turin
Date of the event:
On 11 November 2026 the University of Turin launches four new master's degree (Laurea Magistrale) courses in Nursing and Midwifery Sciences, designed to train specialised professionals able to meet the needs of a healthcare system that combines hospital care, emergencies and community-based care [1].
The four tracks
The new courses cover the nursing profile, neonatal and paediatric care, primary care and family and community nursing, and intensive and emergency care [1]. The course dedicated to primary care and family and community nursing is held at the UniAstiss university hub in Asti, while the other three tracks are launched in Turin, at the Città della Salute hospital complex, the Asl Città di Torino (local health authority) and the Regina Margherita children's hospital, respectively [1].
Reactions
The Nursing Professions Boards (Ordine delle Professioni Infermieristiche) of Turin and Asti have expressed satisfaction with the initiative. Their presidents, Ivan Bufalo and Stefania Calcari, stress the importance of investing in advanced training, while also pointing to the need for the new skills to be matched by real career-growth and professional-recognition opportunities for nurses [1].
