Overview

Master of Nursing Studies

In this program at the University of Queensland, you'll learn everything you need to know to work as a registered nurse in Australia.

This program has been specifically designed to prepare you to work as a registered nurse in Australia within two years. 

You'll learn to work effectively in interprofessional teams to promote quality health outcomes through safe and effective nursing practice developed to meet Nursing and Midwifery Board of Australia’s Registered Nurse Standards for Practice.

Throughout the program, you'll undertake more than 880 hours of supervised clinical placements in a range of settings, including hospitals and a variety of healthcare organisations. 

These clinical placements will take place at the Princess Alexandra Hospital and other clinical partner sites.

You'll learn the most relevant theories and the latest skills from health and nursing professionals, and you'll benefit from a program that takes a problem-based approach to learning and integrates classroom-based study with clinical practice. 

You'll develop clinical reasoning skills to provide high-quality, safe and effective care.
