Overview

The Bachelor of Science in Nursing with Honours programme is taught by staff from the Florence Nightingale Faculty of Nursing, Midwifery & Palliative Care and other Faculties at King’s College London. The teaching will be delivered in a combination of classroom lectures and the King’s e-learning online platform, KEATS.

Programme Detail

The programme uses a blended approach to teaching and learning so that employment and other demands can be better accommodated. We use a comprehensive range of face to face and online teaching and learning methods, each tailored to the current area of study.

Student-centred learning is pivotal to our philosophy, and our teaching and support methods encourage self-development and awareness through reflection on experience. We utilise practitioners, researchers and lecturers to deliver high-quality research-based teaching.

The programme will consist of six 15-credit modules and one 30-credit project, designed to be completed by a student studying part-time over two years. Face to face classes in Singapore will be delivered in one intensive block per module. Each block normally consists of two weekday evenings, Saturday and Sunday.
