Division 2 Applicants
From 2010, the prerequisites for entry into the Bachelor of Nursing (Division 2 Conversion) course have changed. Applicants are no longer required to complete the STAT Multiple Choice Test. Some applicants will be required to undertake an admission test set by the Division of Nursing & Midwifery. Further information regarding the new admission test is available via the Division 2 Conversion site.
Bachelor of Nursing (Graduate Entry) applicants
Applicants wishing to apply for the Bachelor of Nursing (Graduate Entry) who have completed a degree overseas are required to supply evidence of NOOSR (National Office of Overseas Skills Recognition) equivalence to VTAC at time of application.
NOOSR provides official information and advice on the comparability of overseas qualifications with Australian qualifications which assist the Selection Committee in considering an application.
Applicants with overseas qualifications, who do not submit evidence of NOOSR equivalence, will not be considered for an offer within the Bachelor of Nursing (Graduate Entry) course.
