The Bachelor of Science Nursing is offered in Singapore through the University’s partnership with Kaplan Higher Education. The programme is built around the contemporary needs of nursing professionals in the context of Singapore. It supports the ongoing development of Registered Nurses and is complementary, and incorporates, key Singapore Nursing Board (SNB) guidance and regulations.
Throughout the programme you will be taught by Northumbria University staff with expertise within their subject specialism and who have experience of teaching international based and UK home based students. All teaching faculty are level one registrants (nurses) with the Nursing and Midwifery Council in the UK. Some staff are also registered with the Singapore Nursing Board as per their requirements. In some instances, local experts may be used to support Northumbria staff in class, particularly where local knowledge or contextualisation will improve your experience.

This programme encourages students to challenge their existing beliefs about healthcare and nursing from a national, international and global perspective and to formulate and justify viewpoints as appropriate. Students will locate, evaluate and apply evidence required to provide ethical, context appropriate nursing practice and leadership to benefit patients and healthcare services. By being reflective and having a reflexive awareness, students will learn to share and debate different perspectives on healthcare with a community of practice and wider audiences through verbal and written communication methods. Further, this programme promotes an ability to collaborate effectively, and to support nursing peers by becoming members of a Learning Community within a multi-cultural study environment. At the end of the programme graduates will be ready to extend this support as they will develop skills and knowledge equipping them to teach and support learners in practice. Finally, programme graduates will be equipped to continue to be lifelong learners and will apply transferable knowledge and skills developed to progress nursing practice and their careers as graduate nurses.
