School of Nursing
Nursing plays a vital role in Hong Kong’s healthcare system, spanning hospitals, communities, schools, and elderly care settings. With an ageing population driving greater demand for healthcare services, the School of Nursing is committed to nurturing competent, caring, and innovative nursing professionals who advance clinical excellence, education, and research.

The School offers a range of professional programmes accredited by the Nursing Council of Hong Kong (NCHK), including the Bachelor of Health Science (Honours) in Nursing and the Higher Diploma in Nursing. Graduates of the five-year bachelor’s programme qualify as Registered Nurses (RN), while the two-year diploma programme prepares students to become Enrolled Nurses (EN). Students enrolled in these programmes receive subsidies either through the Study Subsidy Scheme for Designated Professions/Sectors (SSSDP) or from the Social Welfare Department (SWD).

Launched in 2026, the Doctor of Philosophy in Nursing programme emphasises applied research that translates knowledge into practical solutions for healthcare challenges, linking academic inquiry with real-world impact.

The School fosters a vibrant community of experienced educators and researchers dedicated to advancing health innovation. Through strong partnerships with hospitals, healthcare organisations, and community providers, students gain extensive clinical practicum experiences that strengthen their professional skills and readiness to serve the community.:

NUR_Research Story
A nurse-led Stress Management and Resilience Training (SMART) programme
Hong Kong nursing students face compounding stressors from social pressure, COVID-19, and academic demands, contributing to alarming youth suicide rates. This randomised controlled trial will evaluate a nurse-led Stress Management and Resilience Training (SMART) programme involving 400 final-year nursing under-graduates. Participants attended three face-to-face sessions delivered by nurse educators and counsellors. Resilience and mental health outcomes will be measured at baseline and three follow-up intervals. Results could inform an evidence-based resilience-building framework and potentially reduce Hong Kong's nursing attrition rate.
