What it isThis program trains you to become a midwife, a healthcare professional who supports pregnant people through pregnancy, labour, and the first weeks after birth. Unlike nursing or general medicine, midwifery focuses specifically on low-risk pregnancy and birth as a normal process rather than a medical emergency. The part-time format lets you study while working, making it suited to people who need flexible scheduling or are already in healthcare roles.Social Sciences I is a first-year entry point where you explore human behaviour, society, and social systems through subjects like economics, sociology, anthropology, politics, and social work. Unlike a specialized program, you sample multiple disciplines before declaring a focus, letting you discover which area — from international development to health policy — matches your interests. It suits students curious about how societies work and drawn to understanding people and social issues from different angles.
