The programme

Nursing is learned at the bedside, not only in books

Pakistan needs far more qualified nurses than it has. Our BS Nursing programme is built to close that gap with graduates who can think clinically, care compassionately and lead confidently.

From the first semester, theory is paired with practice. Students build skills in our labs, then apply them during supervised clinical duties and community visits, so that by graduation the ward already feels familiar.

Clinical from the start

Supervised clinical duties and community health visits run alongside classroom study.

Experienced faculty

Qualified nursing teachers who mentor students through every semester.

Learning spaces

A stocked library, a computer lab and air-conditioned classrooms on campus.

Fully recognized

PNMC recognized, LUMHS affiliated and approved by the Health Department, Government of Sindh.

Scheme of studies

What you’ll learn, semester by semester

A PNMC-approved curriculum of 135 credit hours over eight semesters, combining theory, skills-lab work and clinical practice.
