Nursing Course: Degree in Nursing

The degree in nursing programme is a 4-year full time programme aimed at creating nursing competency among students. On completion of the degree in Nursing programme, students will sit for the Malaysian Nursing Board examinations in order to be qualified for licence as a Registered Nurse.

The focus of this training programme is caring for the sick. Throughout the programme, students are made to understand the rationale of care that is given to patients, so that students will be able to react better in "new" situations. By the time the three year programme is finished, students will have a sound knowledge of caring for patients, the right skills and the right attitude to be able to perform the tasks of nursing professionally.

Registered nurses who have already successfully undergone a Diploma in Nursing programme can enhance their qualificaton through the degree in Nursing programme. They may be entitled for credit exemptions.

 

Career Opportunities

The difference between the number of qualified nurses and the required number of nurses is ever increasing. This means that the demand for qualified nurses is ever increasing.

There is a great demand for qualified nurses in public and private hospitals, specialist clinics, health-related agencies, large factories and many other places.

The degree programme forms a foundation for specialization in specific health sectors and further education, leading to even better career prospects.
