Bachelor Programme
Nursing
The UTS Bachelor of Nursing prepares students to practise as Registered Nurses, combining theory with clinical placements from the very first session and in every session after that. Subjects include anatomy, pharmacology and patient care, supported by simulation-based learning before students head into health settings. In final year, students can pick a specialty elective such as paediatrics, critical care, perioperative or mental health nursing. The course is accredited by ANMAC and approved by the Nursing and Midwifery Board of Australia.
