What will you learn?

(Medische Hulpverlening) This program trains students to become medical care providers who can assist in medical emergencies and healthcare delivery.

Required Education

For admission to MBO Medical Care, you need at least a VMBO diploma, where the specific level (2, 3 or 4) depends on the institution and desired specialization level. If you completed HAVO or VWO, the Nature & Health (N&G) profile fits best with this program due to its focus on biology and healthcare. Subjects like biology are often required or strongly recommended, and mathematics and Dutch are standard admission requirements. If you are 21 years or older without the appropriate diploma, you can usually still be admitted to the program through an entrance exam or assessment.
