Nowadays, nursing students in higher education are characteristically different from those of the past generation. The millennial generation has characteristics unique to the digital era. Their life styles are related to technologies including cell-phones, computers, and Internet. Traditional teaching such as giving lectures in a big room with lot of students may not be suitable for the learning preferences of the millennial students.

Ramathibodi School of Nursing realized the perspective changes of the situation. The program provides the Hybrid Education Model to better fit with student’s lifestyle and socioeconomic conditions today. The Hybrid program in Master of Nursing Science (International Program) was established and launched in 2014. The Hybrid Education Model can be defined as a combination of traditional classroom (face-to-face) and Internet based instruction. The main objective of our hybrid program is to combine the most effective instructional aspects of the traditional classroom with the best features of online classes either synchronous or asynchronous communication. Therefore, “Hybrid Education Model” will be an alternative curriculum for higher nursing education.

The Hybrid program in Master of Nursing Science (International Program) designed the curriculum based on the combination of education, research and service aspect of nursing to create a comprehensive and well-rounded learning experience. Courses are taught with an emphasis on clinical nursing practice and nursing research by highly qualified faculties with years of clinical experience. In addition, we provide the opportunities of cultural exchange and field trip in Thailand and abroad.
