Description
Established in 2005, the Midwifery Study Program initially comprised the Diploma III (D3) in Midwifery and the Applied Bachelor (D4) in Midwifery programmes. In 2021, it was transformed into the Bachelor of Midwifery Study Program and the Midwife Professional Program, reflecting its commitment to strengthening professional midwifery education. In recognition of its educational quality, the programme received Excellent Accreditation from the Indonesian Accreditation Agency for Higher Education in Health (LAM-PTKes) in 2024, pursuant to Decree No. 0021/LAM-PTKes/Akr/Pro/I/2024.
The programme has produced highly competent midwives who serve across a broad spectrum of healthcare settings throughout Indonesia. Its graduates are employed as civil servant midwives in public hospitals and Community Health Centres (Puskesmas), independent midwifery practitioners, hospital and primary healthcare clinic midwives, as well as healthcare professionals within the Indonesian National Police (POLRI) and the Indonesian National Armed Forces (TNI). Graduates have also established careers in homecare services, health communication and advocacy, and have successfully pursued professional opportunities overseas, including in Saudi Arabia, Germany, Singapore, and Malaysia.
To ensure graduates acquire comprehensive professional competencies, students undertake clinical and practical training at the Integrated Laboratory of Universitas Batam, RS Hj. Bunda Halimah, the University's teaching hospital, independent midwifery practices, and Community Health Centres (Puskesmas). The programme is delivered by professionally certified academic staff, experienced midwifery practitioners, and lecturers who have graduated from distinguished national and international universities, thereby ensuring that graduates are well prepared to meet the evolving demands of the healthcare profession.
