Here's what University of East Anglia says about its Midwifery course.

Overview

To excel as a midwife the BSc Midwifery degree at the UEA will equip you with the skills, knowledge and leadership qualities you'll need to practice in all maternity settings. Discover a pathway where every lecture and every practice experience shape you into a compassionate midwife, armed with expertise and resilience. You'll graduate ready to support women and their families to navigate their pregnancies as their lead practitioner in all midwifery care, and able to manage and coordinate more complex care for those with additional needs.

In UEA’s cutting edge Midwifery degree, you'll study the latest research underpinning current midwifery practices and develop both your critical analysis and ability to evaluate evidence. You'll learn how to work in partnership with women as individuals and make judgments based on their specific situations. You'll then consolidate your learning by putting it into practice whilst on placement.

Our BSc Midwifery degree will also help you to develop in-depth knowledge and clinical skills related to the examination of the newborn. And you'll also learn how to support new parents emotionally and physically as they bond with their babies. With our Midwifery degree, you'll not only witness the miracle of birth but also become the pillar of strength and wisdom that new families cherish during this profound chapter of their lives.

Upon graduation, you'll be well-prepared to navigate the registration process with the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC), seamlessly marking the beginning of a successful and rewarding professional journey.

Things cost a lot here too, with the laundrette and shop being very overpriced making it hard to budget money easily. However, the camous looks quite nic...

Uni life is very fun. You get to spend time with your friends and they're always there so you don't get bored. Norwich is a very average city but again you get used to it and it's also very historic

Accommodation is definitely good and like a hotel. The library is open 24/7 and the campus kitchen has very good food. My room is amazing I opted for en suite room which is better than others. We share a kitchen which is ok as it can get dirty quickly. But other than that all is good
