COURSE DESCRIPTION
Graduate prepared for a successful career in the largest growing employment sector in Australia and develop the knowledge, skills and ethical understanding to become a registered nurse, balanced with the skills required to empower people to lead healthier lifestyles. Deakin’s Bachelor of Nursing/Bachelor of Public Health and Health Promotion enables you to make a real difference in the health outcomes of individuals, communities and global populations.
Passionate about helping people lead healthier lives, across clinical and community settings?
This combined degree in nursing and public health and health promotion gives you the advantage of learning skills in two differing facets of health care. Developed in consultation with our healthcare partners you will always be connected to those at the forefront of industry.
Under the supervision of registered nurses, you will gain real-world experience by working with multidisciplinary healthcare teams across areas including:
acute/sub-acute care
medical and surgical care
aged care
rehabilitation
paediatrics
community health settings
mental health care settings.
Public health is the organised response by society to protect and promote health and prevent disability. By looking at patterns of health and disease across populations, public health experts can use data and evidence-based measures to address the world’s biggest health challenges. Health promotion is about working with communities to improve health and champion factors that support good health – be they environmental, legal, physical, economic or social.
You will study the foundations of modern health promotion practice, covering key study areas such as:
biostatistics
environmental health
epidemiology
health sociology
planning and evaluation.
While you will graduate with a suite of specialised and highly sought-after healthcare skills, you will also enter the workforce with lifelong transferable skills, in areas such as:
research

Deakin’s purpose-built Clinical Simulation Centres for nursing students simulate real healthcare settings. They provide you with the facilities and equipment required to develop practical nursing skills, which are further enhanced through your professional experience placements.
