Overview

Master of Nursing

La Trobe's Master of Nursing lets you match your study to your career aspirations. 

Enhance your knowledge and skills in specialist areas by choosing from clinical and non-clinical subjects.

Enjoy a flexible, blended learning approach that combines face-to-face workshops with an online study that you can fit around your work commitments and access from anywhere. 

If you're looking to pursue a career as a nursing educator, academic or manager, you'll have access to online non-clinical specialisations. 

Develop advanced knowledge of nursing research and the critical thinking, problem-solving and communication skills you need to thrive as a nursing researcher, educator or leader.

You'll graduate ready to effectively plan, implement and evaluate practice in your specialised context, make high-level independent judgements, and function effectively as a multidisciplinary team member.

International applicants can only enrol on Non-Clinical Specialisations, including Leadership, Health Administration & Public Health.

Non-clinical specialisations include:

  • Public health
  • Leadership
  • Health Administration

Compulsory placements (Work Based Learning)

During this course, you will participate in one or more supervised Work Based Learning (WBL) placements designed to allow you to practice newly acquired skills, behaviours and knowledge while integrating theory with practice.
