Entry Requirements

Standard requirements
A minimum 2:1 undergraduate Bachelor’s (honours) degree
If you have a lower degree classification, or a degree in an unrelated subject, your application may be considered if you can demonstrate significant relevant work experience, or offer a related graduate qualification (such as a Masters or PGDip).
Programme specific requirements
Any Bachelor's degree subject is acceptable.
You will need a current valid registration as a nurse, with two years post-registration experience being desirable. If you do not have two years of clinical experience, you will need to demonstrate very strong academic performance in your previous studies.
Students who have completed an undergraduate degree taught in English in Singapore within the last 15 years can be exempted from the requirement to provide certification of your competence in English before starting your studies.
