The two universities set up jointly the undergraduate nursing curriculum, which will be taught by a team of teachers from both sides. The establishment of the PKU-MPI Nursing Academy is a symbol of historic significance, which will start a new journey to serve for Macao people’s health and facilitate the construction of Guangdong, Hong Kong, and Macao Greater Bay Area.
