Course overview

Master Degrees (Coursework) prepare students to apply advanced knowledge for professional practice, scholarship and further learning corresponding to AQF level 9 qualifications. The Master of Midwifery is a two-year intensive graduate entry master program leading to eligibility to apply for registration as a midwife with the Nursing and Midwifery Board of Australia. A graduate entry master is a fast and intensive course which allows the applicant to change their career direction quickly. Midwives work in a variety of settings such as clinics, hospitals, community practices, birthing centres or in the womans home. The Master of Midwifery emphasises the close integration of evidence based theory and clinical practice. Theory content is comprehensive and includes the physical, biological, psychological and social sciences.

It is essential that applicants have successfully completed a research unit and a human biology related unit at tertiary level.
