Is it permissible for a student to study nursing in Tunisia, knowing that all universities have gender mixing, and that the nursing profession requires treating women, especially since he faces harassment for being a conservative adherent to the Sunnah by growing his beard?

The default is to seek out a non-mixed university. If that is not possible, then enroll in the one with the least harm. Be diligent in lowering your gaze and avoid transgressions such as mixing (unrestricted intermingling), seclusion (), and unnecessary conversation. There is no blame upon you for studying at such a faculty. A man's medical treatment of a woman is not permissible except with specific conditions.
