Course structure

The BNurs is a six semester programme, comprised of three parts (360 points).
It is structured to include a foundation year (Part I), where students study biological, physical and social sciences alongside other health professional students (105 points).
You are also required to complete one course (15 points) from the General Education Schedule.
Year Two (Part II) has two core courses: Nursing Clients with a Pathophysiological Problem (60 points) and Nursing in Mental Health, Addictions and Disability (60 points).
Year Three (Part III) has two core courses: Child and Family Health Nursing (60 points) and Professional Nursing Practice (60 points).
Clinical learning experiences are central to the overall purpose of the BNurs, so students will be immersed in a variety of clinical settings through years two and three.
Clinical settings include acute and chronic health care facilities, inpatient and outpatient clinics, and institutional and community health agencies, along with primary, secondary and tertiary healthcare services.
