A descriptive analysis was conducted to determine self-perceived levels of core competencies of midwifery students. The study was conducted with 247 students who attended a faculty of health sciences and agreed to participate in the study between May 1 and June 30, 2018. Data were collected using the Identification Form and the Core Competencies for Public Health Professionals Form. Of the participants, 45.0% lived in houses/apartments, 30.0% graduated general high schools,85.0% had income that could cover their expenses, and 90.0% came from nuclear families. Midwifery students had a total mean score of 2.84±1.08 (Min.1, Max.6) from the Core Competencies Form. The difference among the mean core competencies scores of the students from all skill areas were statistically significant (p<0.05).
