Midwifery BSc (Hons) Midwifery (156 weeks)
What’s it about?
Midwives offer care and support to pregnant women, their partners and their families. They help during pregnancy, through labour and birth and into the first phase of post-natal care. 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?
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. The academic programme will be carried out at the University of Salford and you will be allocated one of six placements in four NHS Trusts for your clinical experience.
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. 50% of your learning will be spent in clinical practice and the other 50% will be in academic learning at the University.
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 weekends and night duty) and will need to be able to travel to clinical placements.
What about funding?
If you are a UK or EU student you will have your tuition fees paid for you. You may also qualify for a means tested NHS bursary. You are eligible to apply for Department of Health bursaries, irrespective of whether you have previously obtained a grant from your Local Education Authority.
