Course Description

We are proud to offer one of the few blended learning midwifery degrees in the UK, in partnership with Health Education England (HEE).

This course will enable you to become a future-focused resilient midwife who is equipped with the competence and confidence to think critically and deliver high-quality, compassionate, and evidence-informed care. You’ll develop and become a role model for other professionals and the women, birthing people and families you’ll provide care for.

You’ll be taught how to work inclusively with all women, birthing people, their families and others involved in care.

Our blended learning approach means you can learn via both electronic and online media as well as traditional face-to-face teaching. It provides an innovative and accessible way to begin your pathway to becoming the best midwife you can be.

Recognised by the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) for the purpose of registration as a qualified midwife.
