Available to high-achieving students, the Bachelor of Midwifery Honours course is an additional year of study that provides an opportunity for students to develop the knowledge and skills required for conducting research in an area of midwifery practice.
In this course, students will study foundation research methods in preparation for their midwifery research project. Students will work with their supervisor/s to develop a research question, undertake a literature review and develop a project proposal including an ethics application if required. They will undertake data collection, analysis and interpretation and will communicate their project justification, protocol and findings progressively, using various forms of communication. Students will develop research communication skills as they progress through the stages of their research project and will be guided by their supervisor to develop their honours thesis as a final outcome of their learning.
