We offer three Nursing postgraduate programmes designed for flexible study - mixing online and on-campus learning combined with clinical placements.
Who are our programmes designed for?
To ensure that you have the necessary background to succeed in your studies, admission to the Master of Health Sciences in Nursing is based on your previous university studies in either a relevant bachelor's degree or other equivalent qualifications and practical experience.
The Master of Advanced Nursing (Nurse Practitioner) and the Postgraduate Diploma in Nursing (Registered Nurse Prescriber) are open to registered nurses that want to progress a career in your specialist areas of practice.
