Midwives offer care and support to birthing people/women, their partners, and their families. They provide care throughout the pregnancy continuum, which includes antenatal, intrapartum, and postpartum care.
Equality and diversity are important for providing high-quality care for birthing persons/women and their families. Within our midwifery programmes, we aim to provide a truly inclusive curriculum, recognising and valuing differences in the broadest sense. We also strive to ensure all our midwifery students feel valued and included.
The MSc Midwifery (pre-registration) programme is aimed at graduates wishing to pursue a career in midwifery. This is an opportunity to study midwifery at master's level and will provide a strong basis for a future career in clinical work, alongside research, education, management, leadership, or consultancy.
Our Midwifery Curriculum is UNICEF Baby Friendly accredited, and in February 2021, we achieved the Gold Award status, demonstrating our highest commitment to infant feeding education for student midwives.

Admission Requirements
Midwifery is not a nine-to-five job, and neither is being a student midwife:
Applicants should be of good health and character, have excellent communication skills, have some experience working with the public, and have a good understanding of the varied and complex role of the midwife.
Offers are subject to satisfactory entry requirements, satisfactory Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) checks, and occupational health medical clearance. You will be advised of the process and procedures when a provisional offer of a place is made. Prompt completion of online processes and return of forms and ID documents is crucial, and compliance is carefully monitored to ensure fitness to practice as required by the NMC.
- You will be expected to work shifts, even while you are training.
- You don't get long holiday breaks; our course works on the basis of seven weeks of annual leave per year.
- Considerable travelling is required for hospital and community placements.
