So you’ll always be right up-to-date. You might, for example, play an active part in creating an electronic breastfeeding record or help analyse breast milk.

Did you know, …

… that our Institute focuses on the academic evaluation of midwives’ performance?

So you’ll get an objective view of what midwives do. You’ll also examine best practice models so you’ll be able to implement these in your future field of work.

Did you know, …

… that we only invite the best?

Numerous guest lecturers, both from Austria and abroad, teach on our programme and incorporate their practical expertise into the course.

Did you know, …

You’ll learn to evaluate your own performance on video and how to improve it. So you’ll build up valuable experience in a secure environment which you can put into practice later. These practical exercises always follow on directly from the theoretical sessions as a way of preparing for the work placement.
