MSc Midwifery (Short Programme)

University of Hull

This fully accredited two-year Masters course is suitable for adult nurses on the National and Midwifery Council register that want to develop the skills to become a life-changing midwife.

With this fully accredited degree, you’ll split your time between studying underpinning theory, learning in our award-winning Allam Medical Building and developing your skills on placement, becoming a qualified midwife when you graduate. You’ll develop the knowledge and confidence to make a difference for mums and their babies at their most vulnerable. And graduate as a qualified midwife. With a 50/50 split between clinical practice and scheduled classes, you’ll learn how to support women throughout pregnancy, labour and the early postnatal period.

You’ll learn in some of the UK’s finest facilities within our £28-million Health Campus. Taking part in simulated practice, you’ll develop practical skills in our award-winning clinical learning environment which includes a midwifery-led birthing unit, hospital ward, intensive care unit and resuscitation unit.

We work closely with Hull University Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust. Every semester you’ll get to take a placement in local Trusts and other care environments. This includes the opportunity to experience round the clock care working a variety of shifts.

You’ll develop your understanding of essential theory in lectures, seminars, workshops, enquiry-based learning and self-directed study. Throughout your studies you’ll be supported by midwifery academics, practice educators and mentors. And you’ll graduate as a qualified midwife.
