Midwifry, can you study at home??

I was just wondering if you can study midwifry at home?? I would really love to do it, i live in wollongong nsw.

Not too sure about this, maybe some parts of the course you could do it by correspondance but I would highly doubt the whole thing could be done. You'd have to do placement as part of your course. I think you may actually need to become a nurse first then go into the field from there - I vaguely remember that when I asked one of my MW could be off the mark though.

You can study by correspondance through University of SA. Have a look on their website University of South Australia - quality university study and education in Australia and you can find more info there. You do need to travel to Adelaide a couple of times a year for workshops though and obviously you have your placements to do. I think they try to get you a placement near your home, but if they cant then you have to travel to SA for your placement. I think its the only uni where you can do an undergrad bachelor of midwifery by correspodance.

Thanks ladies i will look into that Karina!!

No worries. I think the applications have probably closed for next year. I'm not sure if they accept late applications but if you're keen then give them a call and see. I believe you have to do an interview (over the phone) too. I'm currently studying nursing by correspondance through the same uni and some of the nursing subjects are also in the midwifery degree. Good luck whatever you choose!

You probably still can apply through SATAC for BMId through uniSA for next year. I looked into this too. Only prob was you needed a TER of about 94 to get in and unfortunately my TER is 80. I've decided to do BNursing thorugh CQU uni externalyl then I'll do the masters of Mid.

no sorry
you can do it part time.
but you need to do so many hours prac a week adn eb employed by a hospital that ahs a maternity unit so you can do you training.
wollongong uni does offer this part time expecially if you are already a Registered nurse.
i have been looking into it as i am really interested in becoming a commmunity midwife as i work in a medical centre and teh local hospital now.
i trained at uow and now live in mossy
