Hi there Tania, I am a BMid student @ Flinders Uni in Adelaide SA. There is another Uni here in SA (UNISA) & 2 Uni's in Victoria offering Bmid this year for the first time. The entry criteria for UNISA was scores based, or what they call TER ranking, which goes on yr school leaving score or yr Mature Entrance Exam score. Flinders did this but also asked for applicants to submit a 1000 word essay outlining the changes/challenges facing midwifery at this time & what they saw their role in that would be. I am not sure what the Victorian Unis entry criteria was. At this stage UTS does not offer the BMid, I think they will next year or soonish at any rate. The workload is do-able, the major crisis facing Flinders atm is that the Uni has not been able to renew its Public Indemnity Insurance for any of its students or staff to work or gain placements in maternity or obstetric areas. The placements I will be doing in a few weeks time will be general nursing. UNISA & the 2 Unis in Vicland do not yet face this crisis, but it may come when their insurance runs out in June/July..... I am 36, a single parent of 2 girls, live 45 mins by car away from Uni, and coping. (sometimes only just:)) The person to contact @ UTS is prolly Nicki Leap, I dont have her email addy here right now but someone will:)

I currently work in Singapore as a Doula and am studying to be a Childbirth Educator. I was wanting to hear from anyone out there who can give me some information on the Bachelor of Midwifery degree. I understand that UTS offers this and that they only take a certain amount of entries per year. Is anyone currently doing this degree? What is the criteria to gain entry like? What is the workload like? Any mature aged students out there? I'm 35. As I am currently in Singapore I don't intend to stay here forever but wanted to start researching possible options for me upon my return to Sydney. Any information you can give me would be greatly appreciated Thank you Tania Grose-Hodge Singapore. -- This mailing list is sponsored by ACE Graphics.
