Midwifery is a rewarding, dynamic, and highly-skilled profession. The role of the midwife is central in ensuring that women/persons have a safe and life-enhancing experience throughout pregnancy, labour, and the first few weeks after birth. As a midwife, you'll also be responsible for making sure newborn infants and families have the best possible start in life.

On the BSc (Hons) Midwifery Practice course, you’ll follow a woman/persons-centred approach to maternity care by applying a biopsychosocial model to enrich your practice as a midwife, tackling health inequalities and providing evidence-based practice. This midwifery degree has a focus on mental health within maternity and the role of the midwife in supporting women/persons and families with mental health issues.

Clinical placements will make up 50% of your time on this midwifery course, in a range of settings both in and out of hospital, under the supervision of registered practitioners. You'll also have regular contact with our Patient, Carer and Public Involvement (PCPI) participants who all have experience as patients or carers.

On successful completion of the course, you'll be eligible to register with the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) as a registered midwife. You'll have five years from starting the course to complete and register with the NMC.
