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.

The two-day event held from 19th to 20th February 2018 showcases the work, experience, learning achievements and talents of UBD students who have undergone their Discovery Year. This gives students who are about to take part in their Discovery year the opportunity to learn from their experienced peers. They can also learn about other disciplines, in the hopes that more multidisciplinary activities and projects will take place in the future. The GenNEXT curriculum offers experiential learning through the Discovery Year programme during the students' third year candidature. Under the programme, students have a choice of one or a mix of the four choices: Study Abroad programme, Internship, Incubation project and Community Outreach Project. The various options should encourage UBD students to be independent, proactive and courageous in their pursuit of knowledge and skills because these are relevant in shaping their future careers.
