Overview
- The Bachelor of Nursing (Advanced Studies) at the University of Sydney is designed to prepare graduates for professional registration as nurses and to equip them with advanced skills beyond basic clinical practice.
- Students engage from early years in clinical placements (simulation labs, hospital wards, community health settings) across a variety of nursing contexts—acute care, aged care, mental health, Indigenous health, community health and more.
- The “Advanced Studies” element means the programme places emphasis not only on technical clinical competence but also on leadership, research-informed practice, global health understanding and non-technical skills (communication, decision-making, collaboration) in a complex healthcare environment.
- Graduates are eligible to apply for registration as a nurse with the Nursing and Midwifery Board of Australia and can pursue careers in diverse settings including public and private hospitals, community health, remote and rural health, mental health, and aged care.
- The University’s facilities (e.g., the Susan Wakil Health Building) and embedded clinical practice ensure the integration of theory and practice in authentic healthcare environments.
