Overview

The Bachelor of Nursing (Honours) from Australian Catholic University (ACU) allows students to build upon the knowledge gained in their past degree, develop research skills that will equip them for future study at a higher degree level and work closely with an academic expert to contribute to a particular area of interest. The main focus of the degree is to produce a research thesis under supervision from experienced academic staff.

Career

Completion of an honours degree equips graduates with important skills in research, data analysis and interpretation, and project management. It is the most efficient pathway to doctoral studies. An honours degree also provides graduates with greater knowledge of research and interpretation, which can be usefully applied in the clinical setting.
