Master of Nursing

Yes. The Master of Nursing is available both part-time and full-time, and is specifically designed to be studied alongside your daily practice.

The degree offers a clinical pathway and a research pathway. The clinical pathway has you prepare a project that addresses a topic relevant to your practice role, while the research pathway has you conduct research and write a thesis under the supervision of an experienced mentor, which may then be published in journals.

You can choose from over 40 different electives mapped to areas of clinical need, including enhancing primary care practice through prescribing medicines, family and reproductive care, specialist care in critical care, oncology, perioperative and anaesthetic nursing, nurse education, research and inquiry, and leadership and management.

Yes. The degree is part of a stackable set of qualifications. If your goals shift, you can exit after six months of study with a standalone Graduate Certificate or after one year with a Graduate Diploma qualification. You can also begin with a shorter qualification like the six-month Graduate Certificate and continue on to complete the Graduate Diploma or full master's degree.

To be eligible, applicants must have completed a bachelor degree (AQF level 7) or higher from a recognised higher education institution, and must hold or be eligible to hold registration with the Nursing and Midwifery Board of Australia (NMBA).
