midwifery

Midwifery Midwifery is offered as a single professional clinical degree by the University of Queensland, AUT, Otago Polytechnic and CPIT. All these courses prepare students for successful careers as midwives and aim to equip them with the skills to work in partnership with women and their families to provide excellent levels of care before, during and after childbirth. A significant proportion of time during study is spent in clinical experience, as considerable amounts of practical experience are essential to becoming a confident, competent midwife. Midwifery can also be studied as a double degree with the Bachelor of Nursing (this dual course requires four years of study, rather than three) which is an excellent option for those hoping to work in remote or rural settings in the future. Qualified midwives can undertake a Master of Midwifery to further develop and specialise their skills and experience.
