About this course
Midwives provide comprehensive care and support to birthing people, their partners, and families throughout the pregnancy continuum, including antenatal, intrapartum, and postpartum care. This career requires dedication and flexibility, as midwifery is not a typical nine-to-five job. You’ll be expected to work shifts and demonstrate a commitment to making a real difference in the lives of individuals from diverse backgrounds.
50% of your studies will be spent on placement, gaining invaluable clinical experience. On campus, you will have access to dedicated facilities such as the birth simulation suite and clinical skills rooms. The programme is underpinned by national policy and offers a broad, balanced, and diverse experience of midwifery practice, combining theory and practice-based modules each year. You will be expected to maintain a portfolio of personal and professional development (PDP), and your clinical skills and medicines management will be assessed throughout the course. The 'Practice' modules prepare you to achieve the clinical competencies necessary to progress from a novice in the first year to an accountable, autonomous practitioner by the end of the programme.
Our programme is committed to promoting equality and diversity, ensuring a truly inclusive curriculum that recognises and values differences in the broadest sense. We strive to create an environment where all midwifery students feel valued and included. Additionally, our Midwifery Curriculum is UNICEF Baby Friendly accredited, and in February 2021, we achieved Gold Award status, reflecting our highest commitment to infant feeding education for student midwives.
Upon completing this three-year degree, you will be eligible to register as a midwife with the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC).
