A successful applicant for admission to the Graduate Certificate in Emergency Nursing will hold a pre-registration nursing degree from the University of Sydney or equivalent qualification.
 

In exceptional circumstances the dean may admit applicants without these qualifications who, in the opinion of the School, have qualifications and evidence of experience and achievement sufficient to successfully undertake the award.
 

In addition, the applicant is required to be a registered nurse in Australia, have a minimum of one year's experience as a Registered Nurse, and satisfy the English language proficiency requirement.
 

The applicant is also required to be working in emergency nursing and must provide a statement of support from their supervisor or manager in order to undertake the required clinical assessments.

Tuition Fee for International Students (Year 1): $22,500 (indicative only)
 

For international students, the tuition fee is for Year 1 of full-time study of 48 credit points (1.0 EFTSL). However, for courses that require completion of less than 48 credit points (Sydney Professional Certificates, Graduate Certificates and some Graduate Diplomas which are less than 48 credit points), the fees indicated are based on the total credit points required for completion of that course as listed in the 'Course details' section.

The tuition fee that you will pay depends on the calendar year in which you undertake your study in the course, and your study load.
This indicative tuition fee is subject to annual increase each year of your study, effective at the start of each calendar year.

Graduates of this course will be recognised as having advanced knowledge relevant to emergency nursing. Nursing practice in emergency departments may range from life-saving interventions to health promotion and injury prevention.
