COURSE CURRICULUM

The Master of Nursing consists of 240 credit points and is designed to develop advanced nursing knowledge, clinical expertise, leadership abilities, and specialised professional skills. The course structure includes core subjects, a selected specialisation, advanced learning pathways, and elective options that allow students to tailor their studies according to their professional interests and career goals. In Level One, students complete core subjects including Critical Nursing Essentials and Advanced Health Assessment, along with clinical quality improvement or recognised advanced standing credit. Students also complete 60 credit points from their chosen specialisation, including the Ageing and Complex Care specialisation. This specialisation focuses on developing advanced clinical assessment, clinical reasoning, and leadership skills to support adults with complex health needs across different care settings. Students learn to apply evidence-based practice, coordinate care, facilitate healthcare transitions, and implement person-centred approaches that improve outcomes for ageing populations. In Level Two, students select a learning pathway such as Advanced Clinical, Education and Management, Project, Perioperative Nurse Surgical Assistant, or Research, depending on eligibility and career aspirations. The program combines theoretical learning, practical application, and professional development to prepare graduates for advanced nursing roles. Through the Ageing and Complex Care specialisation, nurses develop the expertise required to provide high-quality care, collaborate within multidisciplinary teams, and support improved healthcare experiences for older adults and individuals with complex conditions.
