A Bachelor of Nursing Programme was first introduced in 1991-92. The programme is designed to provide registered nurses with the opportunity to gain a broader and deeper knowledge and understanding of nursing and the related biological and behavioural sciences. Graduates of this programme will provide leadership in the delivery of nursing care and assist in the development of nursing knowledge.
Students will be admitted into either the 2-year full-time or the 4-year part-time programme. There will be day and evening courses and a combination of day and evening classes may be possible for other part-time students who cannot attend all courses during the day.
