Course Information

Course Overview

The Diploma in Nursing at Kings University College is a comprehensive, three-year programme that prepares students to become competent, compassionate, and professionally registered nurses. Designed to meet the full requirements of the Malaysian Nursing Board (MNB), this full-time diploma combines rigorous theoretical learning with extensive hands-on clinical training — giving students the scientific knowledge, practical skills, and professional values required to deliver high-quality patient care across diverse healthcare environments.

The programme is structured across three progressive years. Year 1 establishes foundational sciences — anatomy, physiology, microbiology, pharmacology, and psychology — alongside principles and practice of nursing, communication, and counselling. Year 2 advances into specialised nursing including medical surgical nursing across five modules, musculoskeletal nursing, and obstetrics and gynaecology nursing. Year 3 covers paediatric nursing, community health, mental health and gerontology, intensive care, perioperative nursing, and accident and disaster nursing — together with management, leadership, law and ethics, and research methodology.

Six dedicated Clinical Nursing Practice modules are integrated throughout all three years — providing structured supervised patient contact in actual hospital, clinic, and community health settings. This clinical training ensures Kings Nursing graduates are genuinely competent and clinically confident from day one of professional practice. Upon completion and MNB registration, graduates are qualified to work as registered nurses in Malaysian and internationally recognised healthcare environments.
