Why study Bachelor of Midwifery?

The course aims to prepare a competent midwife who can work in maternity settings to the capacity of the internationally defined role of the midwife. The course teaches themes including that women are central to the provision of care; care of women across their lifespan; contexts of professional midwifery practice; understanding of scientific processes affecting the care of women and family; development of professional values and contemporary midwifery practice; exploration of essential sciences and pharmacology underpinning midwifery practice; and provision of care in multicultural contexts. Clinical practice makes up 50 per cent of the degree, with an opportunity to apply theory to practice under supervision. Students experience a wide variety of health agencies throughout Victoria.
