The objective at UBD’s Institute of Health
Sciences is to produce graduates armed with sharp analytical and
methodological tools, together with adaptable skills that are driven by a
positive outlook that they will need to become lifelong learners.
Students are therefore given early clinical and laboratory exposure in
order to attain greater experience in the core clinical, biomedical, and
scientific disciplines. The emphasis in this regard is to instill
greater inter-professional teamwork and communication skills – skills
that are important for achieving and maintaining high quality and
effective health care.
Nursing Board for Brunei (the Board) also recognizes institutions from
other countries upon receiving accreditation of the training programmes from the
Brunei Darussalam National Accreditation Council (BDNAC), Ministry of Education, Brunei Darussalam. BDNAC is responsible to assess and evaluate qualifications.
