HKU relaxes admission requirements for nursing programmes

In an effort to curb shortages of nurses in local hospitals, The University of Hong Kong is planning to relax the prerequisite requirements for nursing programmes – allowing students with non-science backgrounds admission. 

Students who achieve good results in four core subjects – Chinese, English, mathematics and liberal studies, along with any two electives are now eligible.

The new policy hopes to attract a wider pool of talent into the nursing industry, afterall being a good nurse is not all about knowing the science and medicine, but knowing how to communicate and care for the patient too.
