The Bachelor of Midwifery (Honours) at Griffith University builds on prior midwifery study, focusing on research skills and advanced clinical understanding. Over one year of full-time study in Brisbane, students select a specialised area of interest and conduct a research thesis or project under supervision. Typical course structure includes advanced units of study worth specific credit points, together with dedicated time for research work and seminars relevant to current midwifery practice in Australia.
The honours year is designed for those who have completed an undergraduate degree in midwifery or a closely related field. You’ll concentrate on expanding your critical thinking, understanding research methods specific to maternal and newborn care, and contributing to evidence-based midwifery. Students gain experience reading, designing, and communicating research, as well as evaluating new practices in the profession. The research thesis is the capstone of the year, giving you the chance to explore a topic of clinical interest in depth.
This course supports your transition into advanced roles in midwifery, or further study such as a master’s or doctorate. It suits those considering research, leadership, or teaching, as well as those looking to enhance their competence for clinical excellence. Links with local health services in Queensland mean you’ll benefit from a real Australian context, with supervision from experienced academics and working professionals.
Australian bachelor (honours) qualifications sit at AQF Level 8, and in midwifery this often means research experience and eligibility for advanced professional roles. You may be eligible for Australian post-study work rights (Temporary Graduate visa subclass 485) on completion, and can work up to 48 hours per fortnight while studying. Confirm current placement opportunities, specific credit points for each unit, and any clinical requirements on Griffith University’s official course page.
It typically takes 1 year, with intakes in Semester 1 (Feb/Mar), Semester 2 (Jul).
Tuition is around A$41,500 total. Fees change yearly, confirm with an advisor.
