Study Nursing and Midwifery

Nursing and Midwifery at Curtin University

The School of Nursing and Midwifery has an enviable record in leading university-based nursing and midwifery education. Its contribution to developing nursing and midwifery knowledge and practice is widely recognised and it enjoys a high standing in academic and professional fields. Graduate-level studies prepare the beginning and advanced practitioner with the in-depth knowledge, skills and leadership ability to effect changes in the larger community. The courses, some of which are undertaken in collaboration with Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital, Princess Margaret Hospital and King Edward Memorial Hospital for Women, combine unit instruction, clinical competence and individual research activity. The satisfactory completion of a clinical/practical component is an integral part of the course. Doctoral studies integrate clinical and research expertise, providing the foundation for incorporating both conceptual and methodological aspects of scientific inquiry related to nursing practice. The School is constantly monitoring community and professional needs. In response to those needs, in recent years specialist courses in adult rehabilitation nursing, diabetes education and advanced nursing practice have been introduced.  

The School offers an equipment library, computer facilities, audiovisual aids, laboratories, and course placements in professional settings.
