  UTS Bachelor of Nursing (BN) prepares you for the exciting and challenging role of the Registered Nurse. This course offers you a comprehensive range of theoretical and clinical nursing subjects that together provide the knowledge, skills and professional values graduates require to provide safe, effective and compassionate nursing care.

  The course is three years full-time (or equivalent part-time), consisting of both theoretical and practical components. Clinical learning is a key element of the course and clinical placements in health care settings begin in the first session of your first year and will continue every session thereafter. Simulation-based learning opportunities are integral to the course and are designed to assist you in preparing for clinical placements and your future role as a Registered Nurse.

The Honours year provides the opportunity to enhance your research capabilities. Together, the Bachelor of Nursing Bachelor of International Studies (Honours) combines preparation for the role of Registered Nurse and the development of your research skills with immersion in another language and culture, enhancing your professional, educational and career options.

• Transdisciplinary Electives at UTS arrow_forward_ios

  Employers tell us the skills our graduates acquire from undertaking a Transdisciplinary Elective sets them apart from the crowd. That’s why we have embedded this program into every undergraduate degree.

  All you need to do is choose the Elective that inspires you the most.

  Transdisciplinary Electives integrate knowledge from multiple disciplines, allowing you to approach complex problems from a range of perspectives.

  By combining methods and insights from various disciplines, transdisciplinary learning often leads to breakthrough ideas and creative innovations that may not be possible within the confines of a single discipline.

  If you find yourself rapt by the world of innovation – you can pair your core degree with a Diploma in Innovation, graduating with two qualifications in the same timeframe. 

  In both instances, you’ll work on a real-world challenge presented by an industry partner organisation – partners who often create career pathways for our graduates.
