Best universities in Australia for Nursing

Nursing sits inside medicine and health sciences, and it is one of the larger fields in the Australian directory. There are 231 registered courses in the subject, spread across 56 providers. That spread matters when you are comparing, because it means the same qualification can look quite different depending on where you take it. The study levels run from diploma and associate degree through to bachelor's degree, bachelor honours degree, graduate certificate and graduate diploma. Providers include Holmesglen, TAFE South Australia, Federation University Australia and RMIT University. So you can start at a diploma and build up, or come in at postgraduate level if you already hold a qualification.
