Midwives are central to caring for women, newborns, birthing people and their families. They are experts in, and the lead professionals for, people experiencing normal childbirth. On completion of the programme students are eligible to register as a qualified midwife with the Nursing and Midwifery Council.

The BSc (Hons) Midwifery degree will equip you to become a skilled, knowledgeable, competent and compassionate midwife, able to provide holistic person-centred care across a range of midwifery and neonatal settings.

You’ll develop the skills to build relationships with women, birthing people and their families, and be equipped to respond to their changing needs during pregnancy, birth and beyond.

Throughout the midwifery course, you’ll learn the value of evidence and research, and feel confident that you can deliver safe, high quality care to prepare you for the challenges of midwifery in modern day maternity services.

While you’re training to become a midwife, you’ll engage in a range of experiences in person-centred midwifery care, and prepare for excellent career opportunities within the UK and abroad.
