Bachelor of Midwifery

Give birth to an inspirational career with midwifery

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 Bachelor of Midwifery offers Work Integrated Learning (WIL) opportunities in a variety of practice areas and starts early in your first year of full-time study. Over the course of your degree, you’ll undertake a total of 1310 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.

work with women in pregnancy, labour, birth and early parenting using a primary health framework
participate in WIL placements, including rostered and on call shifts tending to women in labour and birth
learn to contribute to the development of services, policies and research into maternity care now and as a future leader
