Midwifery - BSc (Hons)

University of Nottingham

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 start strong from day one, beginning to learn hands-on clinical midwifery skills in antenatal, intrapartum and postnatal care from your very first week.  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 several women's pregnancy journeys and provide continuity of care through your case-holding experience.    You will be taught by our expert staff who are passionate about shaping the future of maternity care and 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. Our programme is also fully accredited by the UNICEF Baby Friendly Initiative, reflecting our commitment to high standards in maternal and infant care.
