UCAS code: B720
Here's what Oxford Brookes University says about its Midwifery course.
Looking for a rewarding career path where you’ll make a meaningful impact? Working in midwifery, a field of healthcare that has been around for thousands of years, midwives make a real difference every day to women’s health.
As a midwife, you’ll be the lead professional for providing care to pregnant women, new mothers and their babies. On this course, you will explore answers to questions like: What does universal midwifery care look like? How does care differ for women with additional complexity? And what does autonomous midwifery practice look like today?
Outside the classroom, you’ll thrive and grow quickly through putting theory into practice soon after starting the course. You will experience community midwifery and home and midwife-led units. And you’ll be part of a multidisciplinary team caring for the most complex cases in hospitals.
With the recent influx of funding for the midwifery profession and your fresh enthusiasm and desire to make a positive impact, imagine how you’ll play a part in the future of the midwifery profession. Be a part of the exciting change.
This course is ranked 2nd in the UK Guardian 2024 and 2025 subject rankings.
