What you will study

On this course, you’ll gain experience of caring for individual women throughout antenatal, labour and postnatal periods.

In your first year, you’ll study topics that are fundamental to midwifery, including anatomy and physiology, ethical practice and public health. This will ensure you have a solid foundation upon which to build the rest of your degree.

During your second year, you’ll gain an appreciation for complex midwifery care and how to effectively deal with emergencies such as breech births and hypertensive disorders.

In your final year we will build on the knowledge you learnt in earlier years adding further complexity, such as critical illness and leadership.

Throughout your studies, you’ll develop a responsive attitude to the needs of childbearing women and those who are pregnant, and their families, reflected in your capacity to assess their needs, make judgements, as well as plan, implement and evaluate care.

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