BA/BS in Nursing

The nursing unit opened in 1990 and was expanded in 2000 so that it could admit students to both two-year and four-year bachelor courses. Its teaching follows the professional standard for nursing and joins theoretical study with hands-on practice. Students are prepared to become capable nurses who earn the confidence of patients and their relatives. The department frames its identity through the word SMILE, which stands for strength, modernity, interaction, liveliness and a pursuit of excellence in nursing. Staff aim to build a warm departmental culture and to help students grow in maturity and sound professional character. A range of activities is offered to meet varied student interests. Two pathways are available: a two-year college programme designed for people already working in the field, and a four-year undergraduate programme for students entering nursing training. Both pathways share the department's values, and its courses are designed around the nursing professional standard.
