Programme Overview
Current challenges facing the health care system offer opportunities for nursing research to make a substantial impact on the health of the population and to improve approaches to patient care. There is a shift in emphasis from treatment to prevention of illness and from acute illness to chronic conditions as well as an urgent need to translate successful research findings into clinical practice. Alice Lee Centre for Nursing Studies provides two graduate research degree programmes, namely, Master of Science (MSc) in Nursing and Doctor of Philosophy (PhD). The programmes aim to position nursing research at the forefront of the health care sciences to develop a dynamic, vital, and productive community of investigators who conduct rigorous research to establish the scientific and evidence base for patient care.
Aims of Programme
The Master of Science (MSc) (Nursing) and the Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) are designed for research training. The Master qualification can be taken as a stand alone qualification or, if the student demonstrates the ability, can be converted to a Doctor of Philosophy qualification. Besides coursework, student is required to complete a thesis of a maximum of 80,000 words for graduation.
There is no specialisation of the degrees awarded. These milestone Singapore based qualifications enable nurses to take their study in a full-time or part-time mode.
