If you’re planning to study at UOW immediately after finishing your HSC, International Baccalaureate (IB), or an interstate equivalent, you can apply for Early Admission to this course. Applications can be submitted via the UOW Early Admission website during the designated period, usually June – August each year.

Students can also apply through the Universities Admissions Centre (UAC).

If you’re a non-school leaver (e.g., completed Year 12 previously and/or have a TAFE qualification or equivalent), you can apply directly to UOW.

Before applying, please review the requirements, intakes, and deadlines for your chosen degree.

International students are encouraged to apply with the support of an approved UOW agent. An agent can help navigate the application process and ensure that you submit all necessary documentation. For your nearest agent, please see our agent list.

Alternatively, if you would like to apply directly (without an agent), you can start the process through our Apply Online portal. Please note, some applicants will not be eligible to apply directly and will be prompted to apply via an agent.

International students who are studying an Australian Year 12 qualification in or outside of Australia may choose to apply through UOW Early Admission, and/or through the Universities Admissions Centre (UAC).

Overview

Registered nurses play an important role in the health care system and are involved in a range of activities that are designed to provide care for people with acute, chronic and complex health conditions. Registered nurses are integral in the treatment of people, families, communities, and populations.

Throughout the Bachelor of Nursing, you will have opportunities to apply theory to practice. During 21-weeks of workplace experience undertaken in hospitals, aged care, and community facilities, you will be immersed in nursing practice, ensuring you are workplace ready.

You will develop an increased awareness of the effects of cultural, social, economic, legal and ethical influences on the development of the nursing profession. This knowledge will enable you to accept responsibility for more complex client management.

UOW nursing graduates enjoy excellent employment prospects with 91% in full-time employment within four months of graduating. Source: QILT (2023).
