Master of Palliative Care at Flinders University

The Master of Nursing (Coursework and Research) aims to provide advanced studies in nursing practice and research to prepare nurses to contribute to the present and future development of health care services and the nursing profession. In addition to developing specialist nursing skills and competencies, you will have the opportunity to conduct research in an area of interest with the support of individualised supervision. You will become competent at reviewing, critiquing and synthesising literature to support your research, and will develop skills for completion and submission of research grant proposals for ethical approval and funding applications.

The postgraduate program in acute care nursing is a specifically designed pathway for international students. It aims to facilitate the development of specialised knowledge and skills to enable application and critical analysis of concepts and theories relating to the recognition, response and management and care of the acute, complex and/or critically ill deteriorating patient in a range of acute health care settings. You will study with fellow domestic students undertaking other acute care nursing specialisations.

Specifically designed for international students, this program enables you to study with domestic students and undertake observational professional experience placement (PEP) opportunities previously unavailable to international students. It aims to facilitate the development of specialised knowledge in working with individuals, groups, families and communities within a broad primary healthcare framework.
