Message from the Head of Department

The Department of Nursing Sciences (DNS) at Antonine University (UA) is fully aligned with the University’s mission. We are dedicated to educating a new generation of nurses who embody scientific excellence, professional ethics, and human compassion, all in service of individuals and the broader community.

Supported by a team of committed and highly skilled professionals, the DNS offers a rigorous
academic program that welcomes the diversity of student backgrounds and is deeply rooted in the values of respect, inclusion, and humanism — where every interaction reflects the true essence of care.

Throughout their academic journey, our students benefit from personalized support and a dynamic learning environment that fosters the development of clinical, interpersonal, and interprofessional competencies. The curriculum features hands-on experiences in simulation labs, diverse clinical placements, applied research opportunities, and a strong emphasis on pedagogical innovation — making our students not just study nursing, but truly live it.

We maintain strong partnerships with clinical, academic, and community institutions, providing students with real-world exposure and a global perspective on nursing practice.

Firmly committed to social progress, we place the human being at the heart of our actions. Inspired by the enthusiasm of our students, the loyalty of our alumni, and the trust of our partners, we continue to design and deliver innovative programs that respond to today’s healthcare needs and anticipate the challenges of tomorrow.

If you want to make a difference in others’ lives, nursing is your calling. Together, let us
advance a profession that is skilled, compassionate, and forward-looking.

Your future starts now.

Ms. Manal Merhi
