Student Research

“Great oaks from little acorns grow”, a solid foundation is always the key to success.

In NUS Nursing, we provide research training for our honor, MSc and PhD students to let them have the opportunity to learn various research methodologies and then apply those methods through practical research projects. Over the years, our students have performed exceptionally and many have published their research works in prestigious medical and nursing journals such as Age and ageing, Diabetologia, International Journal of Nursing Studies, Nurse Education Today, etc.
