About this course

In this double degree you will gain the skills and knowledge needed to become both a registered nurse and a registered paramedic.

The Bachelor of Nursing is known for producing adaptable, safe and ethical nurses - in fact, more nurses graduate from ACU than anywhere else in Australia. We use learner-centred approaches including case studies and situation-based learning to enhance students' experiences as well as their readiness for the workplace.

The Bachelor of Paramedicine at ACU aims to create professional paramedics who are motivated to improve communities by providing compassionate primary, urgent and emergency health care in dynamic environments. We use case studies and authentic learning experiences to maximise student engagement and prepare them for assisting individuals and the community.

You may also have the opportunity to participate in international study experiences to gain unique educational and cultural experiences working in care facilities in developing countries.
