The Australian government prioritizes protecting and sustaining marine ecosystems against ongoing and unpredictable climate shifts through strategic scientific research. The Marine Science major integrates diverse subjects to deliver a comprehensive, interdisciplinary program, equipping students with specialized marine science expertise. While firmly grounded in science, this major cultivates versatile skills and cross-disciplinary thinking to meet the rising need for coastal and marine specialists across various sectors.
The combined Bachelor of Science and Master of Nursing program hones analytical abilities while allowing students to investigate diverse scientific fields. Participants complete core science requirements, junior electives, and a chosen major, supplemented by additional electives to fulfill credit requirements from disciplinary or shared course pools.
The initial year focuses exclusively on science studies, with nursing coursework beginning in the second year. Progression to the Master of Nursing requires meeting academic benchmarks. The nursing curriculum combines theoretical study with extensive hands-on training, including more than 800 hours of clinical placements throughout the degree.
