Overview
- The Bachelor of Arts and Master of Nursing programme at the University of Sydney is designed for students who wish to combine a broad grounding in the liberal arts with a professional nursing qualification. The Bachelor of Arts component allows students to choose a major (48 credit points) from the Table A subject areas and complete electives and prerequisites for the nursing progression.
- After fulfilling the Bachelor component requirements, students proceed to the Master of Nursing, which is the professional practice-oriented component preparing graduates for registration as nurses. The combined structure produces graduates who not only have nursing clinical competence but also analytic, research and communication skills drawn from the arts discipline.
- The nursing component emphasises evidence‐based nursing practice, interprofessional collaboration, information literacy and the ability to engage in enquiry‐oriented activities across biological, medical, social sciences and arts perspectives.
- The programme is part of the broader nursing offering at the University of Sydney, which highlights strong clinical placements, a wide range of nursing practice settings (including acute, community, rural and global health) and integration of current health research.
