From 2019, the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences (FMHS) of Stellenbosch University will offer a Bachelor of Nursing programme and applications are now open. 

The Department of Nursing and Midwifery is known for its postgraduate and specialist programmes, and welcomes this innovative undergraduate programme to its portfolio.

The purpose of this programme is to educate and guide a student in becoming a professional nurse and midwife. Through learning experiences on campus, within communities and in various healthcare facilities, students will develop the behaviours, skills and capabilities they need to become and be practitioners and leaders who value diversity and bring careful thought and innovation to their caring practices.

This is a four-year programme offered on the Tygerberg campus and its associated distributed clinical training platform. The clinical practice context is very diverse, ranging from the public sector health care service settings, private health care sector to relevant learning experiences in for example schools, social services, rehabilitation facilities, non-governmental and non-profit organisations.

Students will learn how to craft person-centred, holistic, contemporary, evidence-informed and resource-sensitive caring practice to support the healthcare and wellbeing of individuals, groups and communities.
