Midwives are autonomous practitioners providing care and support to service-users and their families during pregnancy, birth and the early postnatal period. Working as part of a multidisciplinary professional team, midwives practise in birth units, communities and hospitals, supporting service-users to have a positive experience of childbirth. This dynamic, demanding and privileged role carries great responsibility but is incredibly rewarding. BSc(Hons) Midwifery is accredited by the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC), which means you can register as a midwife with them when you graduate. With close input from practice partners and maternity service users, the course offers an authentic, woman-centred learning experience and gives you the grounding you need to practise midwifery confidently, compassionately and to the highest standard. The course has a strong practical focus and you'll spend around half of your time learning on clinical placements, supported by midwifery mentors.
