Masters (Coursework)
While this course has been designed primarily for internationally registered nurses, it also enables Australian registered nurses to gain and update skills to further their careers.
The course will develop your in-depth knowledge of contemporary health care and provide you with the skills to apply this knowledge to practice.
You will study a range of contemporary topics such as clinical leadership and management, global health issues, chronic condition management, clinical education, health practice evaluation, and evidenced based practice and research design. All areas that will provide opportunities for leadership roles in your home country when you graduate.
Note: While this course does not lead to registration to practice as a nurse in Australia, it may lead to Australian employment in health policy, compliance, consultation or program coordination.
