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.

Innovation and Transdisciplinary program

Transdisciplinary Electives at UTS Employers tell us the skills our graduates acquire from undertaking a Transdisciplinary Elective sets them apart from the crowd. That’s why we have embedded this program into every undergraduate degree. All you need to do is choose the Elective that inspires you the most. Transdisciplinary Electives integrate knowledge from multiple disciplines, allowing you to approach complex problems from a range of perspectives. By combining methods and insights from various disciplines, transdisciplinary learning often leads to breakthrough ideas and creative innovations that may not be possible within the confines of a single discipline. If you find yourself rapt by the world of innovation – you can pair your core degree with a Diploma in Innovation, graduating with two qualifications in the same timeframe. In both instances, you’ll work on a real-world challenge presented by an industry partner organisation – partners who often create career pathways for our graduates. * Excludes students concurrently enrolled in the Bachelor of Creative Intelligence and Innovation.
