Tuition Fee for International Students (Year 1): $45,000 (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 clinical nursing.

Clinical nurses work in a variety of settings in the acute sector and the community and manage patients with both acute and chronic health concerns.

They may also be involved in education, administration or research.
