1. General Program Information
Program Philosophy
The Faculty of Nursing maintains that high-quality nursing graduates must possess both academic knowledge and professional competence. They must be able to integrate the science and art of nursing, midwifery, and related disciplines in order to provide effective, holistic nursing care across diverse clinical and social contexts. Their professional practice must be grounded in integrity, ethical principles, and professional codes of conduct, with due regard for the social, linguistic, religious, and cultural diversity of service recipients. Beyond academic and professional competence, nursing education must foster the comprehensive development of learners. Graduates should be prepared to live constructively and adapt successfully within diverse societies and cultures and under changing circumstances. They should demonstrate intellectual, communication, and information-technology skills; leadership; intellectual curiosity; commitment to the profession; responsible citizenship; and accountability to themselves and society.
