Midwifery BSc (Hons) Midwifery (Post RN)
What’s it about?
Midwifery is not just about delivering babies – it’s about providing women and their families with the best midwifery care during pregnancy, birth and early post-natal stages.
On successful completion of this degree programme, you will be eligible to register as a midwife on the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) Professional Register.
What will I learn?
During this full-time programme, you will learn both the theoretical and clinical aspects of midwifery, where the health and wellbeing of the mother, baby and family is the main focus.
You will also complete a number of clinical placements where you will work alongside a midwife in a hospital environment.
To ensure practice within our programme meets legal requirements, you will be asked to give consent prior to taking part in any activities that may affect your health and safety status – for example, role play activities to practise clinical techniques.
How will I learn?
This programme uses a variety of teaching methods such as lectures, seminars, tutorials, problem-based learning and evidence-based practice.
Can I get work experience?
You will work alongside a midwife mentor in local maternity units where you will experience a wide variety of care-giving settings. You will be expected to work the same shift patterns as your mentor (including night duty) and will need to be able to travel to clinical placements.
What about funding?
This is a salaried position within the NHS with a fixed-term contract.
Where can I get a job? The clinical placements you will complete and our close links with the NHS Trust means your career prospects are maximised. Graduates are well-received within local and national NHS Trusts and abroad, and on qualification, midwives are free to seek employment anywhere in the UK or EU.
