Bachelor of Nursing (Honours)

This program is designed for graduates of the Bachelor of Nursing degree and other similar degrees. Successful completion of the program will provide students with a sound basis for subsequent research within their own work environments as well as enabling them to progress to higher researcher-related programs.

This program provides an opportunity for students, under guidance, to plan and implement a research project in the area of nursing practice. Knowledge and experience gained by students through completing this program will contribute to the knowledge base for nursing practice.

The program of study combines a research project with course work. The course work, undertaken during the first semester of enrolment, comprises two units of study. The remainder of the program is devoted to completion of a research project and the preparation of a thesis.
