To be read in conjunction with the program of study requirements for the Bachelor of Midwifery.
To qualify for the Bachelor of Midwifery, a student must complete 108 units with a grade of P or NGP or better in each topic, according to the program of study below.
Students in this pathway receive 36 units of credit for current nursing registration.
The award of a grade of Fail (F) in the same topic on more than one occasion may constitute prima facie evidence of unsatisfactory progress for the purpose of the University's Policy on Student Progress.
Except with permission of the Dean (Education), the course must be completed within four consecutive years.
Not all core topics are available in each semester: therefore a change in mode of study from full-time to part-time or vice versa is likely to interrupt the program of study. The Course Coordinator will advise students on the best pathway to completion.
Professional experience placements are compulsory for the Registered Nurse pathway and will normally be undertaken in weekly blocks. A student who fails the practice component of any topic will receive a Fail grade for that topic.
A student may at any time be precluded or removed from a professional experience placement.
