Overview

After your first year of study, you have the option based on your GPA, and placement availability, to undertake an accelerated plan to complete the entire degree in just two years. By utilising spring, summer, and winter study periods in year 2, you complete the same number of units in a shorter time, graduating sooner and allowing you to start your career faster.

Career

The Bachelor of Nursing (Accelerated) programme from University of Tasmania is designed to prepare you for a career as a Registered Nurse, who are at the forefront of healthcare delivery. Demand for registered nurses is only increasing, with 80,000 more nurses forecast to be required to meet future healthcare needs by 2033.

Upon graduation, you can apply for registration with the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (Ahpra). If you wish to work as a Registered Nurse in another country, you will need to apply for registration with the national regulatory authority of the country in which you wish to work.

General requirements

CRICOS: 102252J

You’ve completed the Tasmanian Certificate of Education (TCE) and have SA results in at least four Level 3 or Level 4 subjects accredited by TASC.

You’ve completed an interstate senior secondary certificate and have an ATAR.

You've successfully completed the International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma.

The relatively late release of IB results in January each year won’t disadvantage you. We can obtain your results directly from the IB Information System if your school IB Coordinator gives the International Baccalaureate Organisation (IBO) your permission.

If we cannot obtain your results from the IBO, you’ll need to provide a copy of your official transcript to us.

The University of Tasmania recognises the IB as equivalent to an Australian Year 12 qualification. Your IB score will be converted into an equivalent ATAR using the national conversion table below.
