Nursing

Overview

The University of Hong Kong's Medical Faculty is the oldest faculty in tertiary-education in Hong Kong. Its origins go back to 1887, when the Hong Kong College of Medicine for Chinese was founded by the London Missionary Society. 

We offer a master degree in Nursing at The University of Hong Kong. Besides training doctors and nurses, the Faculty has always been at the forefront of medical research and development of new clinical services for the benefit of humankind.

The Medical Faculty is the largest in the University with more than 400 full-time teaching staff, around 800 research staff and 780 research postgraduate students. It is one of the most technologically advanced medical institutions in the region.

Upon completion of the programme, graduates are able to:

• apply competently the advanced knowledge and skills in order to become more autonomous and independent in their practice;

• contribute to the advancement of nursing knowledge and practice through research and evidence-based practice;

• reflect on their own practice so that they can construct, articulate and evaluate their own philosophy, self-reflection and professional ethics in healthcare practice;

• internalise an awareness of the importance of a commitment to lifelong learning and the responsibilities and obligations of being a nursing leader;

• lead, collaborate in and coordinate multidisciplinary teamwork; and

• provide leadership in the healthcare profession.
