Most courses require you to be a registered nurse and some courses have specific entry requirements around post-registration work experience and academic qualifications.
However, Flinders University may under certain circumstances and subject to specific conditions admit others who can show evidence of fitness for candidature.
Refer to the course page (linked above) for each specialisation for entry requirements.
Most postgraduate applications are made through the South Australian Tertiary Admissions Centre (SATAC).
Many of our postgraduate courses are nested, meaning you have flexible entry and exit points. So if you enrol in a Masters and do not complete it – but do complete the nested Graduate Certificate or Graduate Diploma – you may exit with that qualification.
You may also be eligible for credit towards your course depending on your prior skills, experience and study.
We offer one-on-one appointments with our prospective student team to discuss career options, pathways, and course and entry requirements.
