| What it is | You study nursing from day one, learning how to care for patients across different healthcare settings, combining classroom learning with supervised clinical practice. Direct entry means you enter the nursing program straight away rather than completing a general first year, so you start specialized courses immediately. This suits people who are confident about choosing nursing and want to focus entirely on building clinical and theoretical nursing skills. | This program combines engineering design with biology and medicine so you can solve health-care problems using technology and innovation. Unlike a standard biomedical engineering degree, it explicitly weaves in entrepreneurship and business thinking, preparing you to develop and bring new medical devices or health technologies to market. It suits people who want to build things that help patients and are interested in turning ideas into real products or companies. |

Ranges are what each university publishes, not guaranteed cutoffs, and limited-enrolment programs often admit above them. Confirm anything you are about to act on with the university; each column links to its source.
