Become a midwife

State-regulated path

The protected title of midwife requires a dual midwifery degree with state examination under the Midwives Act (HebG).

OWWZ guidance

Midwifery covers pregnancy, birth, postnatal care and breastfeeding in theory and practice.
How is this ordered?

First, programmes whose university states the requirement is met (full qualification before a first stage). Then, first, programmes with one of this goal’s subjects (Midwifery) as main subject whose official name mentions a core topic of the goal – more important core topics first, teacher training last. Then the other programmes with one of these main subjects, the subjects taking turns. Then programmes that have one of these subjects only as a minor, finally programmes of other subjects with a fitting curriculum, by share of the programme. In every step universities take turns in a fixed order that stays the same for each goal and does not follow the alphabet; among the first ten places a university has at most two where others exist. An evaluated curriculum is shown but does not change the order. Not a quality ranking.
