G21 Bachelor of Nursing Honours

INTRODUCTION

The Bachelor of Nursing Honours course comprises a fourth year of study following the completion of three years of a Bachelor of Nursing course or the equivalent.

 

The course allows students with strong cognitive abilities to proceed with a program academically more demanding. Students are exposed to theoretical concepts and quantitative and qualitative research methods in nursing; and they conduct a substantial research project.
