Wanting to study midwifery but unsure of avenues - HELP!

[|.~cookie~.|]

AFAIK the only external midwifery course is at UniSA but check the list anyway.

Direct entry mid can also be very hard to get into.

Good luck!

Hi AnnaT. I've looked into external BMid also. UniSA does it but you need a TER of about 94 to get in, because of the high demand for that course. You also have to go to SA twice a year for lab work before doing placements at a hospital.

Might be worth applying to the local uni's in VIC? I know of someone who is doing the bachelor of Midwifery part-time through ACU in Melbourne. She even takes her new baby along to uni with her apparently.

Sorry AnnaT. I missed the part where you said you were moving to Townsville.

Best thing to do is look at where you want to study- who is offering the course, then contact the faculty and ask about entrance pathways. They may offer bridging courses at the same university that garuntee you a place in a degree course. If not then they can advise you of universities who do run pathways type courses.
