About this course

Delivered in partnership with the Waikato District Health Board (WDHB) and its clinical partners, our nursing programme combines high academic standards with hands-on learning in a real healthcare setting from day one.

The programme also has a specific focus on equity, wellbeing and Maori and Pacific health with opportunities to specialise in mental health and addictions.

On a practical level, you will divide your time between our University campus in Hamilton and health providers across the Waikato region and be guided by an experienced team of registered nurses and other health professionals.

Our diverse teaching team includes active researchers who are changing the way healthcare is delivered in New Zealand and across the world. This team embraces innovative teaching and learning methods to equip the next generation of nurses with skills and knowledge to meet the healthcare needs of the whanau, hapu, iwi of Waikato, New Zealand and global populations.

On completion of your three-year degree, you will be prepared to provide the highest quality care incorporating mental and physical health to people living in rural or urban locations, at home or in hospital.

Entry requirements

Applications for admission to the Bachelor of Nursing will remain open until all spaces are filled.
