Mission Statement
To be the premier health sciences education provider nurturing thinking and caring professionals to serve in community where everyone matters.

Established in 2005, the School of Health Sciences is a new school offering the Diploma in Health Sciences (Nursing) (HSN). This course is aimed at preparing students to function competently as registered nurses. Students will assess, manage and prevent problems related to health and illnesses.

In 2009, the Diploma in Optometry was introduced. The courses, which includes lectures, tutorials and clinical laboratories, are conducted at Ngee Ann Polytechnic. They will be equipped to apply the knowledge gained in nursing, biological and behavioural sciences to nursing practice. The nursing students will also undergo 48 weeks of clinical attachments with various healthcare establishments throughout the 3-year period.

The Diploma in Healthy Sciences (Nursing) course is designed to not only meet the current and future demands of the health care industry in Singapore but also the ambitions of our students to proceed to higher level studies. The Diploma in Health Sciences (Nursing) course is accredited by the Singapore Nursing Board. Graduates of the course will be registered as a Registered Nurse (RN) in Singapore. This qualification is also well recognised overseas.

We want our graduates to be the best trained nurses and optometrists in Singapore, able to play a leading role in health sciences and the overall development of Singapore. Above all, we want our students to develop a passion for life.
