On successful completion of this three-year programme, you will be eligible to register as a midwife with the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) Professional Register.
Midwives provide comprehensive care and support to birthing individuals, their partners, and their families. This includes antenatal, intrapartum, and postpartum care. Our midwifery programmes emphasise equality and diversity, ensuring a truly inclusive curriculum that recognises and values differences in the broadest sense. We are committed to making all our students feel valued and included.
The MSc Midwifery (pre-registration) programme is designed for graduates aiming to pursue a career in midwifery. This master's level course offers a strong foundation for clinical work and opens pathways into research, education, management, leadership, or consultancy roles.
Our Midwifery Curriculum is UNICEF Baby Friendly accredited, and we achieved the Gold Award status in February 2021, demonstrating our highest commitment to infant feeding education for student midwives.
