Requires three years of full-time study in the internal mode of study. Registered Nurses Pathway: For candidates who are eligible for registration as a general nurse with a nurses' registering authority in Australia and hold a current practising certificate. Requires one and a half years of full-time study or the equivalent part-time in the external mode of study only. International students must be registered in Australia as general nurses and enrol in a mix of internal and external mode of study. Applicants who obtained nursing registration by undertaking a nursing degree obtain are eligible for up to 54 units of credit. Registered Midwife Pathway: For candidates who are eligible for registration as a midwife with a nurses' registering authority in Australia and hold a current practising certificate. International students must be registered as a midwife in the country where they intend to undertake clinical experience. Requires one year of full-time study or the equivalent part-time in the internal or external mode of study. PROGRAM OF STUDY [November, 2007] 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. Registered nurses receive up to 54 units of credit and registered midwives receive up to 72 units of credit. Except with permission of the Faculty Board, the course must be completed within four consecutive years. Not all elective topics are available in a given year. 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. Clinical placements are compulsory 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 clinical placement. 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 purposes of the University's Policy on Student Progress.
