The Master of Nursing Science prepares students for registration with the Nursing and Midwifery Board of Australia. The course encourages a practice-oriented and evidence-based approach to learning as a means of ensuring close links between theory and practice and as a tool to support self-directed and life-long learning. To qualify for NMBA registered nurse accreditation, students must complete 187.5 credit points (13 subjects) of core subjects and 12.5 credit points of one elective subject.
