Join one of Australia’s most in demand health professions with a nursing degree from UTS.
Picture yourself at the forefront of patient care, instigating change, or delving into cutting-edge research.
You’ll study at UTS’s city campus, located minutes away from the central business district and central transport hub. When you study at UTS, you study on a campus that is integrated into the city itself.
UTS equips you with the tools to make a lasting impact in the complex and rewarding field of healthcare.
The Bachelor of Nursing course is a three year full-time (or equivalent part-time) course consisting of both theoretical and practical components. Clinical learning is a key element of the course and clinical placements in health care settings begin in the Spring session of first year and continue every session thereafter.
Simulation-based learning opportunities are integral to the course and designed to assist students in preparing for clinical placements and their future role as a registered nurse. In their final year of study, students can choose a clinical specialty elective, for example, paediatrics, critical care, peri operative, palliative care, drug and alcohol, or mental health nursing.
