Bachelor Programme
Nursing
Monash's three-year Bachelor of Nursing prepares students to register as nurses. They build clinical decision-making, patient care, communication, cultural competence and research skills, with extensive placements across Victoria in acute care, primary health care, mental health and health promotion. Students learn alongside those in other health courses, such as physiotherapy, paramedicine and occupational therapy, and high achievers can join a Scholars Program. It is taught at the Clayton and Peninsula campuses. Domestic students apply through VTAC; international students apply directly to Monash with course code M2006.
