Bachelor of Science (Honours) - Professional Nursing Practice

The one-year full-time BSc (Hons) Professional Nursing Practice has been developed specifically for international students currently working, or seeking to work, in health care. It enables students to develop a career in healthcare through enhancing the knowledge, skills, behaviours and attitudes required to lead and manage professional nursing practice.

A distinctive focus of the course is development of a global mindset through exploration of current international, national and local healthcare priorities; opportunities for international experiences within the curriculum; and promotion of cross-cultural understanding. This creates the skills, knowledge and behaviours required for professional nursing practice and the ability for nurse leaders and managers to deal with the wider and often complex issues that spring from a world that is increasingly interconnected globally. Students are encouraged to demonstrate a willingness to explore the opportunities that exist once diversity of ideas and perspectives (locally, nationally and internationally) are embraced.
