Program of Studies

Bachelor of Nursing Regular Track (BNRT)

The BNRT program at the University of Calgary - Qatar is intended to replicate the BNRT program at the University of Calgary in Calgary, Alberta, Canada.  However, the University of Calgary reserves the right to make whatever changes are necessary to the program so that it aligns more appropriately with the Qatari context.

The four year curriculum outlined below is configured primarily for students who have not completed any post-secondary credit courses.  Transfer students who have prior post-secondary credit in non-nursing support courses may be eligible to complete the BN in a shorter timeframe.  Details will be made available to students as the program in Qatar is phased in, and will be dependent on clinical and faculty resources, and student demand.
