What this course is about
UCAS code: B720
Here's what Bangor University says about its Midwifery course.
Validated by the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC), our Midwifery BM (Hons) develops you as a caring, compassionate, responsible, accountable and autonomous professional. It blends wide-ranging clinical placements with research and evidence-based theory and supported clinical skills training featuring virtual technologies, which enable you to practise skills in a supported environment.
Spending half of your time on placement in North Wales, you’ll gain the confidence to lead the safe and effective care of women, pregnant people, newborns and families, whatever the circumstances. You will graduate from a university that has achieved the highest ‘Gold’ standard from UNICEF’s Baby Friendly Initiative (BFI) – the only midwifery undergraduate degree programme in Wales to do so – you’ll also graduate with the knowledge and skills to support infant feeding and relationship building.
From the outset, clinical skills training builds the skills required to become a professional registered midwife. Our simulation-based training equipment uses VR and lifelike manikins, including a ‘pregnant’ manikin which gives birth. This lets you safely examine ‘clients’ and interact in real-time to clinical situations based on real-life examples. It helps prepare you for the realities of working and responding to such situations, both on placement and future practice.
Considerable financial support is available if you are considered a home student* for tuition fees (someone already living within the UK) and can commit to working in Wales for two years on graduation. You could get your tuition fees covered in full through the NHS Wales bursary scheme and claim for a £1,000 bursary contribution to living costs. A wide range of additional support, subject to eligibility, is also available for childcare, parent learners, disabled students and more. More information is available on our website.
*Please note that as this course is funded by NHS Wales, we are unable to accept applications from international students.

Bangor University open days
Are you thinking of applying to this university?
Before you do, it's a good idea to go to an open day. You can have a good look around campus, getting a better idea of what it's like to study there. You'll meet current students and staff and get the chance to ask them questions.
Universities will list upcoming open days on their websites. Most will also have virtual open days; these are a great alternative if you really can't get there in person. For tips on preparing for open days, check the advice section here on The Uni Guide.
