Masters (Coursework)
School of Nursing & Midwifery
Are you a practising Registered nurse ready to advance your nursing career? The University of Notre Dame Australia's Master of Nursing (Coursework) 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 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 in Nursing or equivalent, and have a minimum of one-year relevant post-registration nursing experience.
If you are a Registered Nurse, a Master of Nursing is a useful career pathway if you want to formalise your qualifications or perhaps develop a specialist knowledge in a particular area of healthcare.
Our Master of Nursing (Coursework) can be completed over two semesters of part-time study once you have completed the four Certificate and four Diploma courses. Because you will choose a thesis subject relevant to your specialist area of nursing practice, you should discuss your study program with your postgraduate coordinator beforehand.
As with our other postgraduate programs, the Master of Nursing is aimed at practising Registered Nurses who wish to develop their knowledge and improve their skills so that they can operate at an advanced level. As a Master's student, you will be allocated a research supervisor who will help you choose a relevant research subject and oversee the completion of the program.
With a Master of Nursing (Coursework), you can pursue careers as a nurse unit manager, nurse practitioner, nurse educator, acute care nurse, and clinical nurse.
You will choose a research area relevant to your specialty of nursing practice.
