Why study this program?
The Graduate Certificate in Nursing provides registered nurses with the opportunity to develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills so they are prepared to provide evidenced-based care in a range of contexts. There are a broad range of elective courses, enabling you to match your learning to your areas of interest or workplace needs.
As a graduate, you can then choose to further your qualifications with a Graduate Diploma of Nursing, which requires an additional four courses, then add another four courses for a Master of Nursing (Coursework).
The Graduate Certificate and Diploma programs are open to you if you do not have an undergraduate nursing degree, but have accumulated clinical experience as a Registered Nurse.
