Study Nursing in Australia at UniSC with SOL Edu & Migration

Launch your healthcare career with a world-class Bachelor of Nursing Science and become a registered nurse in Australia

Healthcare is one of the fastest-growing and most rewarding industries in the world — and nursing sits right at the heart of it. If you have a strong desire to care for others, work in diverse environments, and build a meaningful, long-term career, the Bachelor of Nursing Science at the University of the Sunshine Coast (UniSC) could be your ideal pathway.

At SOL Edu & Migration, we’re here to help you start this journey with confidence. As education and migration experts, we’ll guide you through course selection, university application, student visa process, and everything in between — so you can focus on what matters most: building your future.

The Bachelor of Nursing Science is a 3.3-year full-time program that prepares you for registration with the Nursing and Midwifery Board of Australia (NMBA), under the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA).

Here’s why this program stands out:

1. Extensive Clinical Experience

UniSC offers 800 hours of real-world clinical placement in various healthcare settings. These include public and private hospitals, aged care facilities, mental health services, and community clinics. You’ll apply what you learn in class to real-life scenarios — giving you a competitive edge when applying for jobs after graduation.

2. Multicampus Flexibility

Study at any of UniSC’s five accessible campuses:

• Sunshine Coast

• Fraser Coast

• Caboolture

• Gympie

• Moreton Bay

Each campus provides modern simulation labs, small class sizes, and experienced lecturers who provide individual attention to help you succeed.

3. Accredited and Career-Focused

This program is accredited by the NMBA, meaning you’ll be eligible to apply for registration as a Registered Nurse (RN) upon graduation — a requirement to work professionally in Australia’s healthcare system.

The program also emphasises:

• Anatomy and physiology

• Pharmacology and drug therapy

• Cultural competence in healthcare delivery

• Evidence-based nursing practice

• Chronic and acute care management

• Patient-centred communication and ethics

To apply for this program, you’ll need to:

✅ Be at least 18 years of age
✅ Have completed Year 12 or equivalent
✅ Demonstrate English proficiency – Academic IELTS 7.0 overall (no band less than 7.0), or equivalent
✅ Meet Pre-Clinical Mandatory Checks, including:

• QLD Blue Card (Working with Children)

• National Criminal History Check

• First Aid and CPR Certificate

• Vaccination records (e.g. Hepatitis B)

• Computer literacy for clinical documentation and study

Note: These checks take time, so you must begin them immediately after enrolling.

The program consists of 26 courses over 288 total units, delivered in a blended format (on-campus learning and clinical placements). You’ll take core nursing courses along with electives that help develop soft skills like leadership, mental health care, and communication — essential traits in today’s evolving healthcare environment.

As a graduate, you’ll have the skills, confidence, and qualification to work in a range of nursing roles, including:

• Acute Hospital Nurse

• Aged Care Nurse

• Mental Health Nurse

• Community and Indigenous Health Nurse

• Remote and Regional Health Services Nurse

There’s strong demand for registered nurses across Australia, particularly in regional and rural areas. This makes it easier for international graduates to find employment and explore pathways to permanent residency (PR).

After gaining clinical experience, you can continue your studies with postgraduate programs in:

• Midwifery

• Mental Health Nursing

• Critical Care or Emergency Nursing

• Nursing Education or Leadership

This is also an excellent stepping stone toward becoming a Nurse Practitioner or Clinical Nurse Specialist.

Nursing is consistently on Australia’s Medium and Long-term Strategic Skills List (MLTSSL), making it a highly favourable occupation for PR pathways. After completing your degree, you may be eligible to apply for a Temporary Graduate Visa (subclass 485) to gain work experience in Australia.

From there, you could qualify for skilled migration programs such as:

• Skilled Independent Visa (subclass 189)

• Skilled Nominated Visa (subclass 190)

• Employer Nomination Scheme (subclass 186)
