The Award
This is a four-year part-time taught programme leading to the award of a Doctor of Nursing degree from The Chinese University of Hong Kong.
Programme Description
The Doctor of Nursing Programme (DNurs) is practice-focused, and students are required to complete 42 units of courses and an Advanced Nursing Practice (ANP) project. This programme is designed to prepare master’s-prepared nurse clinicians and executive leaders for the highest level of clinical practice to improve health and healthcare outcomes, and to translate research into practice. Our students are expected to build on their existing knowledge to develop advanced clinical and leadership expertise in dealing with complex health conditions across the continuum of care.
Upon completion of the programme, graduates will be able to:
- develop clinical reasoning skills and expertise in advanced nursing
- translate nursing inquiry to guide practice and improve quality of care and health outcomes for individuals and
- design, implement and evaluate models of care based on the integration of theoretical and empirical knowledge to address complex health needs of individuals and
- apply leadership, management, professional collaboration and client-professional partnership knowledge and skills in developing innovative solutions to complex health
- demonstrate specialty competencies needed for advanced nursing
Programme Structure
Students are given the option to choose between two specialty concentrations – clinical concentration or management concentration. Students are required to complete 8 core courses, 3 specialty courses in the selected specialty concentration and 2 elective courses across the four-year study period.

Advanced Nursing Practice in a Global Context
Students will be provided with an intensive overseas clinical shadowing experience in high-quality healthcare organisations. They will also be provided with opportunities and guidance in using reflective approach to optimise their learning outcomes through clinical exposure. By the end of the practicum, they will be able to conduct a critical discussion on how the advanced model in nursing service provision can be applied to different healthcare systems.
This clinical practicum will enable students to:
- critically evaluate the integration of theory and practice in clinical setting.
- analyse and evaluate different approaches and models of nursing leadership, clinical decision making and advanced nursing practice in clinical setting.
- critically reflect, analyse, reconsider and examine their own clinical experiences relating to nursing leadership, clinical decision making and advanced nursing practice.
- critically evaluate the healthcare outcomes in relation to different approaches in nursing leadership, clinical decision making and advanced nursing practice.
