Course description
Our training programme will empower you to become a highly-skilled, autonomous midwife. You’ll learn how to support, advise and advocate for women, their partners, and their families. When you graduate, you’ll be qualified to provide holistic, evidence-based care to women throughout their pregnancy and the postpartum period.
You will be taught by experienced midwives and healthcare professionals, who will give you a grounding in the latest midwifery theory and research. You’ll develop your critical thinking skills, taking time to reflect on your placement experiences to make sure you graduate as a confident, caring and responsive midwife.
Assessment
We use a variety of assessment methods, including examinations, essays, task-based assignments, presentations, clinical skills and a clinical practice portfolio.
Your career
After successfully completing this course, you’ll have the skills needed to progress into a range of management, leadership, education or research roles.
As a qualified Professional Midwifery Advocate, you can go on to practise in the NHS, independently or in a private maternity hospital. The knowledge and skills you gain in our course would make you suitable for a role such as midwifery manager, consultant midwife, practice development midwife, or specialist clinical midwife.
Minimum 2:1 undergraduate honours degree in a related subject. A minimum grade of 4/C in GCSE English Language and Science is also required.
