- I graduated from Arcada and the Degree Programme in Elderly Care in 2011, but after working a few years I realized I wanted to broaden my competences. I chose Open Path studies in nursing, because I wanted to be able to take more responsibility at work and for that I needed to study medicine. Open Path studies are a great opportunity and I’m really motivated to work hard, because when I’ve gained enough credits I can be admitted as a degree student. I really love my job at a retirement home and my clients keep asking when I’m coming back, but first I want to achieve my dream.
- About a year ago I went through a small crisis, when realizing I still hadn’t decided what I wanted to do when I grew up. It felt like the right time to start studying, but when I found the right degree programme for me, the application period was already over. That’s why I went for Open path studies. Another reason was that I also wanted to be able to continue working, so this was a way of compromising between working and being a full-time student. I love Materials Processing Technology and I’m having so much fun at my programme. Arcada offers a nice, friendly and flexible study environment.
