Welcome to the School of Nursing & Midwifery.  One of seven schools within the Division of Health Sciences, the School delivers programs on both the City East and Underdale campuses of the University (Nursing programs are also delivered at the University's Whyalla campus).

Occupying modern purpose built teaching facilities, incorporating fully equipped clinical nursing and bioscience laboratories, specialised computing pools and research areas, the School offers undergraduate, postgraduate and research programs in the areas of nursing, midwifery and health.   The School has an enrolment of over 1500 local, national and international students, with programs delivered both on campus and by flexible delivery (external).

City East CampusAt undergraduate level, the Bachelor of Nursing award provides initial nurse training, leading to registration with the Nurses Board of South Australia as a Registered Nurse. Excellent employment opportunities exist for graduates in South Australia as well as nationally and internationally. Registered Nurses can further their nursing careers by undertaking post-registration study in other specialist areas of nursing, such as midwifery, psychiatric mental health, occupational health and safety and other clinical specialty areas including intensive care, acute care, aviation nursing and paediatrics.

Underdale CampusAn Honours program is available for students who gain a credit level average or higher within their undergraduate award, which may be taken in either traditional form or as an integrated Honours/Graduate Nurse Program. Honours study in turn may lead to entry into research study at either Doctoral or Masters level.

Research within the School is focussed via the Centre for Research into Nursing and Health Care, which is headed by Professor Julianne Cheek.  The Centre provides opportunities for staff and students to further research activities and research study. The Best Practice in Health Research Group, through high quality research, identify and explore best practices in health with particular emphasis on health education and mental health.

Whyalla CampusWith formal links to professional nursing bodies and health partners both locally and overseas, and with a commitment to advancing research and teaching in nursing and health, the School of Nursing & Midwifery is proud of its achievements in providing high quality education, research and consultancy, to meet the needs of the nursing profession and the health industry.
