Clinical learning experience is mostly acquired in the Pretoria Academic Hospital. Students are also sent to other institutions for appropriate and extensive exposure to nursing practice. Owing to this, students are required to work specific hours both during the semester and during some vacations in order to gain practical nursing experience. The syllabus basically comprises subjects which form the foundation of nursing science, namely, the social, biological and nursing sciences. The subjects within the various sciences are offered by specialists from the University of Pretoria.
Transport is arranged for students when lectures are to be attended on the main campus.
The BCur students form a house of the University of Pretoria. As such, they interact and compete with students of other houses during Rag and other cultural and sport activities. After the conferral of the degree, the nurse may specialise in any direction within Nursing Science. Honours, master s and doctoral degrees can be achieved through further study at the University of Pretoria.
