According to figures from the federal public health department the number of students pursuing a nursing degree in Brussels educational establishments has increased in recent years.
The course is particularly popular among women and non-locals, writes Bruzz.
In the period between 2008 and 2015, the number of nursing students in the Brussels-Capital Region increased by about 60%, from 419 to 678 students.
Nearly 81% of the nursing students in the academic year 2014-2015 are women. The students are mainly from outside Brussels.
