About this program

The Bachelor of Nursing at Monash University equips students with both theoretical knowledge and practical skills essential for a successful career in nursing. The programme spans three years and is designed around a structured curriculum that includes core units of study, each contributing to the development of competencies required in the nursing profession. Students will engage in various clinical placements, gaining invaluable hands-on experience in a range of healthcare settings across Victoria.

This degree adheres to the Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF), ensuring that the curriculum aligns with national education standards. Throughout their studies, students are assessed through various methods, including examinations, practical assessments, and coursework. A capstone project at the end of the third year synthesises learning and practice, allowing students to demonstrate their competencies in real-world healthcare contexts.

The course is suited for individuals motivated to make a difference in people's lives through healthcare, with a strong commitment to lifelong learning and professional development within the nursing field.
