The academic programme extends over a period of four years of full-time study, of which the first two years provides the future professional nurse with a comprehensive foundation in basic sciences; including basic medical sciences and social sciences. The programme trains nurses in general nursing and midwifery. Attendance at lectures, clinical health settings, including community settings and laboratories will form the basic pattern.
The programme will include a foundation in conducting research in nursing. Clinical learning placements will take place in South African Nursing Council (SANC) accredited facilities. The final year will focus on the specialisation of midwifery nursing practice.
