Course summary

Join our NMC-validated Midwifery degree course and take the first step towards a career as a midwife.

Modern midwives do much more than assist with birth. They work closely with other healthcare professionals to support women throughout pregnancy and childbirth.

We’ll help you develop into a competent midwife who’s able to work as a team member or leader.

You’ll learn to recognise factors that affect the well-being of mothers and babies; assess individual women; and plan, implement and evaluate care that meets the needs of mother, baby and family.
