Programme Description

The programme is research-focused aiming to facilitate the development of postgraduate nurses with a high level of scholarship and research expertise in nursing practice. The programme offers two study streams – the MPhil stream and the PhD stream. Students should indicate which stream they intend to pursue at the time of application.

For both study streams, students are required to complete 12 units of lecture courses, thesis research courses, and attend weekly research seminars. They will be admitted to either the MPhil stream as MPhil students or the PhD stream as PhD (pre-candidacy) students. The two streams are articulated, that means with Division Head’s approval, students can transfer from MPhil to PhD (pre-candidacy), and vice-versa.

Mode of Study

MPhil Stream (Full-time) : 2 years

PhD Stream (Full-time) : 4 years or 3 years (for those with a research master's degree)
