July What You StudyThesis or dissertationThere are two options for completing this programme. You can complete a 120 credit midwifery thesis or in some instances a 60 credit midwifery dissertation. The thesis option enables you to complete a piece of original research based on higher order skills of analysis and critical evaluation. Both pathways also require the completion of two compulsory prerequisite courses: Knowledge and Theory in Midwifery, and Research Methods in Midwifery. Further study optionsOpportunities for further research and enrolment in PhD programmes are available elsewhere in New Zealand and overseas. Midwifery organisations
WorkloadYour workloadEach course requires working through online resources and participating in online discussions. There will be additional reading and preparation of assessments. Individual pathways and hours will vary but across each semester it is reasonable to plan approximately ten hours per week, per course. You'll also need to attend two Thesis Schools each year; these are online so you can attend from wherever you are studying. The Thesis Schools are an opportunity for you to present your progress to lecturers and your peers in the programme, to seek feedback and contribute to the discussions about the work of others, a fertile ground for great ideas!
