Graduate Certificate in Advanced Nursing

Students develop specialised knowledge and highly sought-after skills to lead, advocate and enhance the quality of care for patients and their families, with complex illnesses and co-morbidities, using evidence to make informed clinical decisions. Graduates are well equipped to work as part of a multidisciplinary team, able to appraise and develop their own practice, as well as contribute to the professional development of others.

The course offers a contemporary and responsive curriculum that is industry aligned, evidence-based and research-informed. UTS works with key health care partners, public health organisations and consumers, to shape and deliver up to the minute content that provides nurses with in-demand skills to meet the ever growing needs of patients and employers. Students learn from internationally recognised nursing experts and researchers who continue to improve practice and inform policy globally. The 100% online study mode allows nurses to personalise their learning, with flexible study options.

Students develop nursing skills and knowledge that enable improvement in person-centred care and health outcomes. Career options include leadership positions, advanced roles and specialisations, in areas such as acute care, chronic and complex care, quality and safety, and management. The course can also be used as an entry point for study at the Postgraduate Diploma or Masters level.
