Approved by the Midwifery Council of New Zealand, AUT’s midwifery degree prepares you for a successful career as a midwife, either as a lead maternity carer (self-employed case loading midwife), or as a hospital midwife. AUT midwifery graduates have the skills to work with women and their families to provide excellent midwifery care, and to understand uncomplicated childbirth.
You will spend more than half of your time in clinical practice, giving you a significant amount of practical experience to become a confident and competent midwife. You complete approximately 2,400 practice hours over your degree; an experience that reflects the real world of midwifery. You also undertake papers in complicated childbirth, neonatal care and babies requiring special care. |
