Student review
Having the Bachelor of Midwifery offered externally was extremely convenient for me having a job, and a family, and not having a local university. While locations of, and the amount of, placements was challenging, I learnt a lot more hands on. The university and lecturers were very supportive and I had many options for interaction, even being an online degree. I would highly recommend CDU.
