This course is designed for aspiring midwives and innovative thinkers seeking to tackle complex global challenges. It will enable you to become a competent midwife, recognised by the Nursing and Midwifery Board of Australia, and to develop the creative intelligence needed to navigate a rapidly changing world.
What sets this course apart is its integration of midwifery with creative intelligence and innovation. You'll gain practical midwifery skills, grounded in science and theory, alongside the ability to think critically and creatively, work across disciplines, and drive entrepreneurial outcomes.
You will learn to practise midwifery to international standards, address 'wicked' problems, and create innovative solutions. The course emphasises real-world experience, problem-solving, and future scenario planning.
Teaching methods include industry experiences, project work, and self-directed learning, ensuring you develop both the technical skills of a midwife and the strategic mindset of an innovator.
The Bachelor of Midwifery program prepares students for registration as a midwife with the Nursing and Midwifery Board of Australia. UTS delivered the first Bachelor of Midwifery program in New South Wales.
By focusing on the high-level conceptual thinking and problem-solving practices that lead to the development of innovative, creative and entrepreneurial outcomes, students of the combined degree also gain leading edge capabilities that are highly valued in the globalised world, including dealing with critical and creative thinking, invention, complexity, innovation, future scenario building and entrepreneurship, and the ability to work on their own across disciplines. These creative intelligence competencies enable graduates to navigate in a rapidly changing world.

For relevant fee information, please choose from the following:
Local student
All students at UTS pay tuition fees to contribute towards the cost of their studies.
In 2024 all offers made to domestic undergraduate students will be for Commonwealth Supported Places (CSP), which means that the Australian government makes a substantial contribution towards the cost of your education, and you pay the balance through student contributions.
The amount you pay depends on your area of study and the number of credit points (cp) in which you enrol. At UTS 48 credit points is considered to be one Equivalent Full Time Study Load (EFTSL).
The table to the right shows the amount a student can expect to pay for one year of full-time study (1.0 EFTSL).
Students can choose to pay their student contribution upfront, or if eligible, can defer their fees through HECS-HELP.
In addition to tuition fees, students are required to pay a Services and Amenities Fee (SSAF). The purchase of textbooks and other course materials may also result in additional cost.
You can calculate your student contribution as a percentage of the amounts shown on the table. Fee rates are divided into four bands covering broad discipline areas. It is important to note that a particular subject within a course may fall within a different band.
For example, if you are enrolled in a 6-credit point Architecture subject, your contribution would be 6/48 x $9,314 = $1,164.
Student contribution amounts for 2025 commencing students
