Overview

Bachelor of Science - Nursing

Whether caring directly for patients, conducting valuable research or engaging in public policy advocacy, nurses make a difference in the quality of people's lives. 

Nursing program at Dalhousie will prepare you to apply current evidence and respond with professionalism to the health and illness needs of people in a variety of healthcare settings: hospitals, homes, schools, businesses, clinics and communities.

Please note: Owing to the limited enrolment and a large number of applicants, this program primarily serves permanent residents of Nova Scotia. 

However each year a limited number of direct entry (directly from high school) and advanced standing entry (for those with previous university experience) seats are also available for well-qualified residents of other Canadian provinces and international students.


The program curriculum will be completed over three calendar years (eight semesters) for direct entry students and over two calendar years (six semesters) for advanced standing students (qualifying students who have previous university experience), offering graduates the opportunity to enter practice one year earlier.

Language pathway (conditional offer) is available

Duolingo English Test :  Minimum score of 115, with no subscore below 95.

If your test scores are lower than our stated minimum but you otherwise meet admission requirements, you may be offered conditional admission provided you complete an ESL program. You have two options for language upgrading:

Option 1

The English for Academic Purposes (EAP) program is offered at 3 levels: Foundation English, EAP 1 and EAP 2. Minimum entrance test scores depend on the course level and range between 3.5-6.0 IELTS / 30-84 TOEFL iBT. Placement testing can be done at Dalhousie. Courses range from 2 to 3 months up to 1 year. 

Each level includes speaking, listening, reading, writing, pronunciation and vocabulary development.

Option 2

Students may choose to study English full-time at one of our partner ESL schools. Once a student reaches the top-level class, they are allowed to register in part-time study at Dal, as long as they complete the ESL program.
