Overview

Australian Catholic University (ACU) Online offers the Master of Clinical Nursing with exit points at the Graduate Certificate level and the Graduate Diploma level.

What you'll study

At the Graduate Certificate level, you can choose to study one of nine specialisations: correctional health, gerontological nursing, medical, renal, surgical, neuroscience, cardiac care, intensive care or perioperative, to obtain a specialisation qualification, or you can choose to study a combination of two units from any of the nine specialisations, to obtain a Graduate Certificate in Clinical Nursing (without a specialisation). By completing the Graduate Certificate in Clinical Nursing, you will develop your holistic care skills in specialty practice, including person and family-centred health promotion. Specific knowledge in the areas of bioscience, pharmacology, and lifespan development, relevant to your chosen specialty, will also be explored and applied to your clinical nursing practice.

In the Graduate Diploma of Clinical Nursing and the Master of Clinical Nursing, you will have the choice of a Project Stream, or a Research Stream.
