Bachelor of Nursing
at The University of Notre Dame Australia, Western Australia.
A three-year nursing degree at Notre Dame's Fremantle campus. Notre Dame paused new enrolments in 2026 and says applications are closed for Semester 2 2026 and Semester 1 2027, so no rank was published for 2026 (70.60 in 2025).
Lowest selection rank
The lowest selection rank (LSR) is the lowest ATAR plus adjustment factors (equity, subject and regional bonuses) that received an offer to the UNDA Bachelor of Nursing for that intake. Universities publish it in their admissions student profiles. Only intakes with a published figure are listed.

A lowest selection rank describes a past intake, not a guaranteed entry score. Check the current entry requirements on the official course page before you apply through TISC.
Prerequisite Year 12 subjects
