Make a difference to the lives of women and their families with UC's innovative Bachelor of Midwifery. Upon completion of this three-year full-time or five-year part-time degree, you'll play a vital role in building strong communities as a creative and socially valuable midwife. The degree accepts a small cohort of students each year, which allows for a highly flexible and personalised learning experience, giving you the opportunity to develop a very special bond with your fellow midwifery students.
The course offers work integrated learning (WIL) opportunities in a variety of practice areas that start early in your first year of full-time study. Over the course of your degree, you’ll undertake a total of 1,310 hours of clinical placements, including the provision of woman-centred care to 22 women during their journey through pregnancy, labour, birth and the postnatal period. The course has an extremely high graduate employment rate, and feedback from industry is that it produces ‘sensational’ midwives.
