Bachelor of Early Childhood Teaching / Bachelor of Nursing

About the course

Although qualified for employment anywhere in Australia, many graduates will be particularly well suited for appointment in rural areas because the clinical and practical sessions of the course will have been undertaken in such settings. Graduates will be valued because they will be multi-skilled in fields where there are noted shortages.

Where it will take you

Graduates find employment teaching in pre-schools, childcare centres, and other children’s services, nursing in a wide range of clinical areas, and combined teaching/nursing in these and other community services.

Your course is recognised by industry

The Bachelor of Nursing degree is accredited by the Nurses and Midwives Board of NSW (NMB NSW), and the Bachelor of Early Childhood Teaching (Birth to 5 years) degree is recognised by the NSW Department of Community Services as providing three-year trained teacher status. In designing the double degree program, consultations with these two accrediting bodies have been undertaken to ensure that the Bachelor of Early Childhood Teaching (Birth to 5 years) and the Bachelor of Nursing satisfy the accreditation requirements of each separate degree.

Graduation requirements

To graduate, students must satisfactorily complete 256 points (29 subjects). Students will graduate from the Bachelor of Early Childhood Teaching (Birth - 5 Years) / Bachelor of Nursing with the award BEarlyChildTeach(Bth-5yrs)BNurs.
