Sydney Nursing School offers a flexible range of postgraduate advanced learning courses in several specialty areas. One of these areas is Clinical Trials Practice.
Choosing a master's degree
You can either study full time (two semesters) or part time (four semesters) at the master's level.
Each unit of study may have up to five face-to-face study days (excluding the capstone). A normal part-time load is two units of study per semester.
The master's degree requires a total of 48 credit points – core and elective units of study make up 42 points, and a capstone completes the degree and is a further 6 credit points.
Award units taken at graduate diploma and graduate certificate levels may also count towards a master’s degree. Any non-award units of study already completed may also be credited towards a graduate diploma.
Student learning is further supported by the University’s eLearning.
Applying for a master's degree
There is one intake of students in March each year.
Application must be made online. You will also need to upload certified copies of other documentation as part of your online application process. To assist you, there is a checklist of required documents that you will need.
Cost of a master's degree
Master’s courses are full-fee paying and costs may increase each year. Fee-Help is available for Australian Citizens and the student centre will provide you with further information regarding eligibility and repayment information. The international fee rates vary depending on which level of degree you choose.
Note: Some limited Commonwealth supported places for local students are available for Clinical Trials Practice.
