Studying Obstetrics and Gynaecology at UNSW

Obstetrics and Gynaecology is primarily a postgraduate area of specialisation in medicine, although undergraduate medical students undergo a nine week rotation in Obstetrics and Gynaecology during Year 5 of the medicine program at UNSW. The School of Women's and Children's Health (http://swch.med.unsw.edu.au/) offers postgraduate opportunities at Masters and PhD levels to both local and international students.
