Mohammed Bin Rashid University of Medicine and Health Sciences (MBRU), the education and research arm of Dubai Health, has launched new nursing education programmes through the Hind Bint Maktoum College of Nursing and Midwifery (HBMCoNM).
The expansion is designed to advance medical education and align nursing training with international standards.
Dr. Hanan Al Suwaidi, Deputy Chief Executive Officer and Chief Academic Officer at Dubai Health, and Provost of MBRU, said, “Developing highly skilled nursing professionals is essential to strengthening national healthcare capacity. Through the Hind Bint Maktoum College of Nursing and Midwifery, MBRU is expanding the academic pathways that prepare nurses to contribute to vital roles across the healthcare system “.
MBRU’s nursing education pathways now cover undergraduate to specialised postgraduate training, beginning with the newly introduced Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN). Students can then pursue advanced specialisations through a Master’s, Postgraduate Diploma, or Postgraduate Certificate in four areas: Cardiovascular Nursing, Critical Care Nursing, Emergency Care Nursing, and Paediatric Nursing. These pathways provide a complete academic route for nurses aiming to develop advanced clinical expertise.
Professor Nezam Al Nsair, Dean of the Hind Bint Maktoum College of Nursing and Midwifery, said, “Our expanded academic offerings provide clear, structured pathways for nurses to build advanced clinical competencies. By integrating specialised postgraduate options with strong foundations in clinical training, we are ensuring that graduates are ready to contribute effectively from day one. This approach enhances workforce readiness and supports the continued development of a high-performing nursing profession.”
In addition to HBMCoNM, MBRU’s College of Medicine continues to offer advanced academic programmes, including a six-year undergraduate Doctor of Medicine, a four-year Graduate Entry Doctor of Medicine, a Master of Science and PhD in Biomedical Sciences, and a Master’s and Postgraduate Diploma in Health Professions Education. The Hamdan Bin Mohammed College of Dental Medicine provides five postgraduate programmes in Endodontics, Prosthodontics, Periodontology, Pediatric Dentistry, and Orthodontics.
MBRU students benefit from Dubai Health’s research facilities and gain hands-on clinical experience in its hospitals, ensuring their education is closely tied to real-world healthcare practice and high standards of patient care.
