Bachelor
When you study the Fast Track Bachelor of Nursing with the University of Tasmania in Sydney, you become part of a community that trains you to provide the highest quality health care in Australia and beyond.
Six full-time semesters across two years allow you to fast track your way into the workforce as a registered nurse.
You will study on our Darlinghurst campus, where you will be supported by a well-equipped simulated learning environment. During the course you'll also be given the opportunity to undertake work placements in both rural and metropolitan healthcare facilities. You will develop the knowledge and skills – and perhaps most importantly, the attitude – needed to offer the highest quality health care. You will learn the best practices for the provision of patient-centred care, safety and quality in practice, and research and evidence based practice in nursing.
The two year fast-track Bachelor of Nursing course is offered through the Darlinghurst campus in partnership with St Vincent’s Health Australia, the largest non-government, non-profit health care provider in Australia. St Vincent’s Health Australia recognise the value of nursing in health care delivery, and are committed to nursing education.
Bachelor of Nursing Fast Track courses are also offered at our Rozelle and Hobart campuses for eligible students. Please note the Fast Track courses are non-transferable.
