Description
The Midwifery Study Program was established in 2005, initially comprising the Diploma III (D3) in Midwifery and the Applied Bachelor (D4) in Midwifery programmes. In 2021, the programme was restructured into the Bachelor of Midwifery Study Program and the Midwife Professional Program. In 2024, the programme was awarded the "Excellent" accreditation status by the Indonesian Accreditation Agency for Higher Education in Health (LAM-PTKes) pursuant to Decree No. 0021/LAM-PTKes/Akr/Pro/I/2024.
The Bachelor of Midwifery Study Program and the Midwife Professional Program have produced graduates who are employed throughout Indonesia in a wide range of professional settings, including as civil servant midwives in public hospitals and community health centres (Puskesmas), independent midwifery practitioners, hospital midwives, primary healthcare clinic midwives, members of the Indonesian National Police (POLRI) and the Indonesian National Armed Forces (TNI), homecare midwives, and health influencers. In addition, graduates of Universitas Batam have established professional careers overseas, including in Saudi Arabia, Germany, Singapore, and Malaysia.
Students undertake clinical education and professional practice at the Integrated Laboratory of Universitas Batam, RS Hj.

The academic staff of the Midwifery Study Program are certified professional lecturers recognised by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Research, and Technology, experienced midwifery practitioners, and graduates of reputable universities in Indonesia and abroad.
