The Pengiran Anak Puteri Rashidah Sa’datul Bolkiah (PAPRSB) Institute of Health Sciences Since its inauguration in September 2000, UBD’s PAP Rashidah Sa’adatul Bolkiah Institute of Health Sciences has expanded beyond solely providing medical training. Graduate Programmes such as MSc in Primary Health Care, Master of Public Health, and Masters and PhD by Research as well as Undergraduate Programmes across five main disciplines – Medicine, Biomedical Sciences, Nursing & Midwifery, Pharmacy and Dentistry are now offered. We ensure the Institute remains relevant and sensitive to the rapidly changing needs of the country. Our programmes are products of a continuous review of our curricula, and indeed, all our undergraduate programmes have undergone major enhancements and are now also designed to encourage innovation and entrepreneurship, and for students to assume leadership roles, tempered with a keen awareness of the environment.
