In addition to the 5-year BNurs curriculum, students will have the opportunity to articulate to either HKU Master of Nursing (MNurs) or HKU Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery (MBBS).
Students will go through the 5-year BNurs curriculum before taking the MNurs and MBBS articulation pathways.
