They have to study on part-time self-directive basis, where the selected teaching and learning strategies will address this characteristic. Teaching strategies include lectures, seminars, small group tutorials, laboratory demonstrations and practices, discussions and case studies. The subjects also adopt multimedia strategies, e-learning approaches and clinical field observation and practice with endeavours to facilitate the integration of theoretical knowledge into clinical practice.
- Another key feature of the Programmes is practicum subject which provides a platform for students to apply the advanced practising nurses' roles into respective area of expertise. Students will develop their own learning objectives which are consistent with their specialty subject objectives.

Experienced nursing specialists in the field will be invited to act as preceptors to facilitate students’ up-to-date practice, while critically examining the development of current practices.
