Bachelor of Nursing (Honours)

Students complete four units of study in which they develop an understanding of research design and methodology, including data collection and analysis techniques, and the ethical considerations involved in undertaking research. The degree culminates in the preparation of a thesis of approximately 15,000 words.

Honours students work with a supervisor who assists them throughout their study. The supervisor helps guide the project and assists in formulating a research question, study design, ethics submissions, collecting results, and the writing and publishing of work.

Yes, the program can be completed full time over 1 year or part time over 2 years. Students intending to study part time need to enter a ticket in Service Now to change their enrolment after they are enrolled.
