Bachelor of Nursing
If nursing is your calling, this degree will provide you with both the theory and clinical skills to realise your ambition. Not only will you undertake clinical placements, our state-of-the-art clinical simulation technology will prepare you for working on a hospital ward before you even set foot in one. Western is ranked number one for Nursing in Australia (CWUR 2017), and in the world's Top 100 (QS Top Universities 2018).
Western’s Bachelor of Nursing uses a primary healthcare framework for teaching, which means your study will combine inquiry-based learning and evidence-based practice. Our nursing degree also shows you how to apply physical and behavioural sciences to nursing, while you explore the best ways in which to care for individuals, families, and groups from diverse backgrounds.
Develop your clinical skills in one of our innovative clinical practice units, located at four of our campuses, and benefit from our strong partnerships with local health districts in Greater Western Sydney.
Over the course of your degree, you will also be placed in a range of real-world health and community settings, including aged-care facilities, hospitals, GP practices, and community health teams.
