The midwifery curriculum is delivered using an enquiry based learning approach (EBL). This active learning method encourages students to work together to explore specifically designed clinical triggers. The EBL process encourages students to work together to ask key questions and then locate the resources to answer them. This type of learning encourages students to challenge and question practice through the acquisition of skills that support personal and professional growth.

The knowledge generated by the EBL activities support the module learning outcomes. Three modules span each year of the course.

The Midwifery course runs during 45 weeks each year with seven designated annual leave weeks.
