University Tasmania - Nursing

Are you looking for a challenging and rewarding career on the front line of healthcare?

You could work in a huge range of areas including workplace safety, emergency medicine, and mental health. Plus, you’ll make a real difference in the quality of life for your community.

Nursing is the launch pad to your career in health, as well as being one of the most trusted professions in the world. It will take you to places that you never thought possible, and our two-year accelerated course option is designed to get you there faster.

We offer a vibrant learning culture; our program uses a blended model of online learning supported by on-campus intensive periods. You’ll also undertake a minimum of 800 hours of Professional Experience Placements aligned with your interests, and across a variety of five clinical and healthcare environments.

This blended model of learning will develop the knowledge and skills you need to offer the highest quality health care, helping you graduate as a solution-focused, compassionate, agile, and resilient, ready to pursue a career as a registered nurse.

In this course you will cover the same number of units and practical placements as the regular three-year Bachelor of Nursing degree, and graduate with the same qualification.

If you need to study away from home, our Relocation and Travel Support Allowance helps cover accommodation and associated costs within Tasmania.
