Graduate Certificate in Nursing

The Graduate Certificate will boost your clinical skills, knowledge and experience, and advance your nursing practice.

During this six month full-time (or part-time equivalent) program, you'll complete three compulsory courses focusing on developing a research proposal, health assessment skills and models of care. You can then select one course from a comprehensive list of electives to deep-dive into a topic of particular interest.

You'll study with a diverse cohort of nursing professionals and learn from their knowledge and experience. You'll also be taught by experienced nursing practitioners and researchers who are leaders in their field, both nationally and internationally.

This program allows you to gain a sense of the requirements for postgraduate study without making a commitment to a master's degree. On completion, you'll be eligible to apply for UQ's Master of Advanced Nursing or the Master of Nurse Practitioner programs.

You'll graduate with enhanced credentials to boost your career and the confidence to undertake further specialisation.
