Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSc Nursing)

This four-year program provides students with a solid foundation in health sciences, nursing theory and evidence-based practice. Students engage in extensive clinical rotations in reputable hospitals and community settings, allowing them to gain hands-on experience in various specialties such as medical-surgical nursing, pediatrics, obstetrics, mental health and community health nursing among others.

The curriculum integrates both classroom instruction and practical training, with a strong emphasis on patient-centered care, critical thinking, ethical decision-making and cultural competence. Students also develop essential communication, leadership and teamwork skills that are vital in today’s interdisciplinary healthcare environments.

In addition to core nursing subjects, the program includes courses in anatomy and physiology, military health service, pharmacology, pathology, research methods and health policy etc. Students are encouraged to participate in health outreach programs, seminars and workshops to deepen their understanding of community health challenges and public health strategies.

Upon completion of the program, graduates are eligible to sit for the licensure examination to become Registered Nurses (RNs). They are equipped to work in hospitals, clinics, long-term care facilities, schools and other healthcare institutions, or to pursue advanced studies in nursing or specialized fields.
