Bachelor of Nursing (Honours)

The Bachelor of Nursing (Honours) provides exceptional nursing students with the opportunity to extend their knowledge and skills to a higher level.

There is an increasing need for graduates to develop more advanced and extensive knowledge in the discipline than can be attained in a pass degree.

The Bachelor of Nursing (Honours) requires students to enrol in NMIH403 or NMIH404 completing advanced coursework and research.

The Honours grade will be calculated in accordance with Method 1. For further information refer to Coursework Rules.
