The University of Western Australia (UWA)

Bachelor of Nursing (Honours)

The proposed Honours degree is the first integrated Honours nursing degree in Australia. The four-year degree recognises the breadth and depth of knowledge and skill preparation required of the registered nurse to practice in dynamic and complex healthcare environments. The fourth year will include selection of a practice area stream and a year-long internship. The course has been co-designed with industry to ensure a contemporary curriculum that meets the needs of industry and health service consumers. The flexible delivery mode of the course will facilitate delivery into the regions of Western Australia, enabling prospective students to learn where they live and work.
