HI Mummabear - yep I second what Nat has said! In all of my research for studying midwifery only Unisa does offer the study externally, and I have heard really really great things about the course!
Howdy Mummabear,
Yep the only place to study mid externally in SA is uniSA. the only thing isbecause you aren't on campus it can be difficult to find time to study, especially with kids, apart from that, go for it!
If you are in Melb, Monash Uni runs a Master of Clinical Midwifery, off campus. Just go to their website and head to the School of Nursing/Midwifery. Applications for next year may have closed but some allow for late applicants. Good luck with it.
I have done my nursing degree externally from Vic with UniSA. I'm pretty sure that the Uni does offer post grad mid externally but just check on the website. I love the flexibility of external study as I can study when it suits me. Finding the motivation can be difficult... In regards to placements, you can do them all here in Vic. The only thing is you will need to attend workshops at the University a few weeks prior to the placement commencing. The workshops are generally only a couple of days. I think most of mine were about 2 or 3 days. Exams can be done here as well - you just have to organise an invigilator (supervisor) who has to meet certain criteria i.e. be a lawyer, JP, teacher, police officer etc. Although I did nursing and not midwifery, feel free to fire any questions about external study through UniSA my way and I will answer them if I can.
