Are you a practising Registered nurse ready to advance your nursing career? The University of Notre Dame Australia's Master of Nursing (Clinical Nursing) will allow you to select a relevant area to research so you can formalise your specialised knowledge in your chosen field. You can enrol in this course if you have completed a Graduate Certificate or Graduate Diploma in Clinical Nursing. Contact us today to discuss your options.
The program is open to you if you are a Registered Nurse who has a previous degree or you have accumulated a wealth of experience in nursing but do not have a degree.
English Language RequirementsYou must be able to demonstrate two years of full-time secondary, vocational or tertiary level of study in Australia, Canada, New Zealand, Republic of Ireland, South Africa, United Kingdom or the United States of America. If you do not meet these requirements you will need to sit the Academic IELTS exam and achieve a score of at least 7.0 overall and 7.0 in each sub-section (reading, writing, listening and speaking) to qualify for entry into the Master of Nursing (Clinical Nursing). This applies to Permanent Residents and Australian citizens whose first language is not English and have not completed two years full-time academic study in Australia. IELTS results will need to be verified by the Admissions Office before an offer of a place can be made. The Admissions Office reserves the right to ask for IELTS results from any applicant.

Are you a senior nurse with a thesis subject you wish to research and specialise in? Taking a Graduate Certificate, Graduate Diploma, or Master of Nursing is an excellent career pathway for Registered Nurses who want to formalise their qualifications or develop specialist knowledge in a particular area of healthcare.
You can complete our Master of Nursing (Clinical Nursing) over two semesters of part-time study once you have completed the four Certificate and four Diploma courses. If you do not have a nursing degree, we will consider your accumulated experience when enrolling.
A research supervisor will assist you in choosing a thesis subject relevant to your specialist area of nursing practice. The supervisor will oversee the project to its completion. Call our postgraduate coordinator to discuss your options.
With a Master of Nursing (Clinical Nursing), you can pursue careers as a nurse unit manager, nurse practitioner, nurse educator, and clinical nurse.
