This combined degree provides you with a more diverse range of competencies than a stand-alone nursing qualification. Choose to combine a Master of Nursing with a Bachelor of Health Science, offering the opportunity to extend your knowledge of health and related topics by studying subjects such as anatomy and histology, health ethics and law, and rural health. This course will enhance your career and employment opportunities by equipping you with a broad understanding of the entire health system.
Upon graduation, you will be eligible to apply for registration as a nurse with the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency and have a wide range of career choices in clinical and non-clinical settings.
Developing skills for leadership in nursing, you will learn to understand the impact of your practice within local and global health contexts, across changing healthcare systems. At Sydney Nursing School, we are committed to developing research and using it as a basis for clinical decision making, in turn improving patient experience and outcomes. Joining students from varied undergraduate degrees, you will engage in debate in our vibrant learning environment.
Study over four years full-time, or eight years part-time. Teaching takes place in lectures, tutorials and simulation clinics and in clinical placements across Sydney, New South Wales or even further afield.
