The Alice Lee Centre for Nursing Studies (NUS Nursing) is Singapore’s premier educational institution for nursing. Since our inception in 2005, we have been producing globally competitive nursing graduates who have succeeded in different areas of the medical field.
In our efforts to uphold the highest standards in nursing education and training, NUS Nursing has been consistently recognised by the QS World University Rankings as one of the leading nursing schools in Asia, while it has also been named an International Council of Nurses-accredited centre for research development.
NUS Nursing acclaimed approach to a nursing education has consistently positioned us as the nursing school of choice for aspiring nurses in Singapore and beyond.
Our path to providing world-class education was founded on a vision to improve healthcare for all, and NUS Nursing mission is to nurture generations of clinically competent, empathetic and caring nursing professionals.
We are proud to say that our nursing students – in both the undergraduate and postgraduate levels – are guided by evidence-based curricula that reflect current issues and trends of healthcare and mentored by the highly qualified academic faculty reputed for their expertise.
At NUS Nursing, we believe education is not just about academic excellence. We hold humility, respect, integrity, collaboration, and compassion in equal regard. Our goal as educators is to instil these values in all our students, reminding them what it truly means to be a nurse. We strive to produce knowledgeable and skilled nurses who are genuinely caring and who are deeply embedded within their communities. As trusted advocates of health and well-being, they represent the very essence of what it means to be a nurse.
Our programmes encapsulate these intentions by giving students rich opportunities to discover where they best fit in the nursing profession. With our masters and doctorate tracks, NUS Nursing opens doors for students to become practitioners in the clinical context, active medical researchers, passionate lecturers in the academe, and leaders in organisational settings.
Our graduates are never limited to a single career path and benefit from an education that allows them to explore the various roles in which they can contribute to creating a healthier society.
“NUS Nursing continuously seeks to adopt innovations and pedagogies, such as simulations and new technologies, to constantly update its curricula. Hence, NUS Nursing graduates are poised beyond general nursing disciplines to be competent in specialisations such as geriatrics, public health and community health and can contribute in health policy, research, systems improvement and evidence-based practice,” shares Professor Emily Ang, Head of NUS Nursing (2014-2023)
It then comes as no surprise that these dynamic school experiences encourage NUS Nursing graduates to return to their alma mater to pursue higher education and obtain further specialised training.
Many of our undergraduates enrol in our Masters and Professional Certification Programmes or work towards their doctorate degrees to widen their scope as practising nurses. They are a testament to the NUS Nursing education that effectively bridges the gap between classroom instruction and the real-life demands of the healthcare industry.
The competencies development that we prioritise in our graduates match market needs — a situation that increases graduates’ employability and gives organisations seeking top-notch nurses the staff and leaders they need.
Global Education
NUS Nursing acknowledges that professional pursuit is important for our nursing community for career growth and that lifelong learning is an enabler to help our nurses to achieve their personal and professional ambitions. Thus, the Master’s and Doctorate Programmes can be undertaken part-time to allow students to pace their studies according to their own capacities.
“We are proud of how our graduates have excelled as caring and competent nurses and their progression in their careers after graduation. Many are holding leadership positions and helming patient care alongside doctors and the rest of the medical teams,” says Professor Ang.
She adds, “Their accomplishments, as well as that of our faculty, have contributed to our sterling reputation among healthcare employers.”
Ultimately, NUS Nursing gives nursing students and professionals alike the support they need to hone personal and professional competitive advantages.
