Learn from expert clinicians, researchers and award-winning teachers who lead the field in midwifery education, research and practice. In this degree, you’ll undertake extensive professional practice learning including 2-3 x 8-12 hour shifts per week over 46 weeks each year. In addition, you will follow 20 women throughout their pregnancy to six weeks after birth, and be on-call to attend the labour and birth – requiring a high level of commitment and flexibility. You will become technically competent and deeply woman-centred with sound clinical judgement. Our blended learning approach includes face-to-face workshops, simulated practice in midwifery laboratories, active online learning and extensive compulsory midwifery practice in a range of settings. You’ll participate in contemporary professional placements and clinical tutorials where you’ll have the opportunity to apply the skills taught and practised in the clinical learning labs, while working under the supervision of registered midwives. Placements are available at Logan, Redlands, Toowoomba, Gold Coast and Sunshine Cost University Hospitals. For more course and placement information, visit Bachelor of Midwifery at GU.
