Academic Programs

This four-year program offered leads to registration of graduates
as professional nurses by the Nursing Council of Papua New
Guinea. The program is designed to prepare practitioners who
are able to provide safe, competent and responsible nursing
care in a variety of health care settings.

The aim of the program is to provide students with coherent and
detailed knowledge of contemporary nursing practice and the
principles and concepts that underpin that practice as well as
enabling them to think critically, to reflect on their practice and to
make sound clinical judgments based on evidence, which
prepares the students with the knowledge, skills and attitudes to
enable them to function effectively as health workers in any
setting and provide an educational and professional basis for
advanced education in nursing practice, teaching, administration
and research.
