Can South Africans study nursing in Australia and how much would they have to pay?

G'day,

Everyone can study nursing in Australia as long as they have good English proficiency since they need to communicate very well with their colleagues and patients. Also nowadays there are shortage of available places for nursing courses in Australian universities, since there are so many ppl wants to be nurse now.

There are only 42 (soon to be 43) universities in Australia, all of them are fully accredited and they are tightly regulated, therefore the quality and recognition of their graduates are equal from wherever university you are studying from. The most important thing is you have to READ the course information carefully, since some courses may have the same name but different content.

I suggest you to go to Dept of Education, Science and Technology (http://cricos.dest.gov.au) and IDP Education Australia website (www.idp.edu.au) online databases. It can tell you the universities offering nursing courses to international students and the website. Please make sure that you access the information for international students, since some requirements, application form and fees are different than Australians'.

Once decided on the uni, fill in the application form and send it together with certified copy of your academic qualification. Depending on your country of origin, you may also need to submit an IELTS test results for proof of your English proficiency (www.ielts.org)

Hope this helps. Good luck on your study and welcome to Australia :)
