The Bachelor of Midwifery at Wintec is designed for students who are committed to nurturing and caring for women through pregnancy, childbirth, and the first six weeks following birth. This undergraduate degree provides the essential knowledge and skills required to work autonomously, ensuring you are fully responsible for the wellbeing of mothers and babies while supporting families safely. You will explore critical subject areas including human anatomy and physiology, pharmacology, and bicultural frameworks for midwifery. By grounding your learning in both clinical practice and theoretical study, you will develop the professional confidence needed to navigate the complexities of the childbearing year.
Studied full-time on campus over four years, this programme balances intensive theory with extensive practical experience. You will attend compulsory block courses at the Hamilton City Campus and participate in scheduled education days at regional hubs, ensuring you gain hands-on expertise close to home. Your learning journey includes clinical placements and modules covering women’s health assessment, complications, and research methods. Upon successful completion, you will be eligible to sit the National Midwifery Examination to become a registered midwife, fully prepared to pursue a rewarding career in clinical practice, community health, or specialized maternity care services.
