Merge scientific expertise with practical nursing experience to develop into a versatile and highly competent nurse. You'll study Science and Social Science subjects focused on healthcare while applying them in nursing practice. Clinical training occurs across diverse settings such as surgical, emergency, medical, mental health, and primary care services. Select from numerous Science specializations, and benefit from our rigorous academic nursing program delivered by top researchers in cutting-edge facilities. Though all nurses are vital to healthcare systems, those with scientific training have enhanced career opportunities in research, healthcare administration, and education. After registering with the Nursing Council of New Zealand, graduates can practice in primary, secondary, or tertiary healthcare environments as culturally aware, reflective nursing professionals. Please note the University of Auckland doesn't oversee graduate employment and cannot ensure post-qualification registration or job placement in New Zealand or elsewhere.
Biological Sciences (Biology) encompasses a vast field of study. It examines the form and processes of all life forms, their evolutionary connections, and their interactions with each other and their physical environments. These sciences play a crucial role in safeguarding New Zealand's economic health and unique island biodiversity against global challenges like climate change and expanding populations. Breakthroughs in biosciences have accelerated dramatically, resulting in innovative medical treatments, sustainable agricultural biotechnology products, and new approaches for conserving delicate ecosystems.
