Bachelor degree
In a hurry?
Not ready to commit to a 3 year degree?
Gain foundation skills and employment opportunities by graduating with a diploma or undergraduate certificate. While qualifications in their own right, they can also be a pathway to a bachelor and beyond.
Honours
Add one year for an Honours Degree
This program is 'End-on honours' which means one year of study, in addition to your bachelor degree.
I've always wanted to do something in medicine as I was passionate about sciences, particularly biology. I have a love of socialising and helping people, so nursing was the perfect program to allow me to pursue my passion and engage with the community.
