About this course
Be part of a supportive midwifery community where we’ll help you on your journey to becoming a competent, compassionate and caring midwife.
You'll develop your knowledge, practical, interpersonal and leadership skills while working closely with women and their families - through all the stages of pregnancy, birth and beyond.
Clinical placements will support you in developing your midwifery skills in practice. You'll follow a number of women's pregnancy journeys and provide continuity of care through your case-holding experience.
You will be taught by our expert staff who have been recognised both locally and internationally for their teaching excellence. Our teaching is research-led and, as an established regional provider of midwifery education, we work in partnership with four diverse NHS Trusts. This offers you a wealth of different clinical learning experiences across the maternity services.
Upon successfully completing the course, you will be eligible to register as a midwife with the Nursing and Midwifery Council.
Modules
During your first year, you'll develop a strong understanding of the professional role of the midwife in practice, along with the skills needed to succeed in the profession. You'll experience placements in year one, with a focus on normal childbirth.
In your second year you'll begin exploring the different ways in which pregnancy and childbirth can change people’s lives. The importance of research and evidence-based care is also explored.
In your final year, you'll learn how to care for individuals with more complex health and social needs. You'll also develop the skills needed for effective management and leadership, in preparation for your future midwifery career.
