Be part of a supportive midwifery community. We'll help you to develop your knowledge, practical, interpersonal and leadership skills on your journey to become a midwife.
This course is fully accredited by the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC). Upon successful completion of the course, you'll be eligible to register with the NMC as a newly qualified midwife.
Case-holding takes place throughout all three years of the course, providing you with experience of offering continuity of care for women, babies and their families. You'll care for women through all the stages of pregnancy, birth and beyond.
Approximately 50% of the course is practice-based, giving you the opportunity to observe and participate in real-life midwifery care. Our teaching is research-led and as an established regional provider of midwifery education, we work in partnership with four diverse NHS Trusts. This means you'll benefit from a wealth of different clinical learning experiences across the maternity services.

In your second year you'll begin exploring the different ways in which pregnancy and childbirth can change people’s lives. The importance of research and evidence-based care is also explored.
In your final year, you'll learn how to care for individuals with more complex health and social needs. You'll also develop the skills needed for effective management and leadership, in preparation for your future midwifery career.
