Jo, at present my Uni does a 3 weeker in 1st year, 2x3 weeks in 2nd yr, 1x3 week + 1x6 weeks in final year although it is all changing next year. I go to the University of South Australia. Each Uni is diff though. There is a nursing school in SA that does 2 days in class and 3 days in the hospital each week.

ETA: Liana - They offer a certain amount of external and a certain number of internal places. Midwifery is always competitive but I don't think many people realise it can be done externally through my Uni so might be easier than other venues? The website is good. I'm not sure if I can post it but it comes up if you google it. On the homepage it has a search option, just type school of nursing and midwifery in and it will come up with the link. The correct uni name is University of South Australia. Let me know if you need a hand.

HTH.
