Course summary

Course Overview

Why Midwifery at UEA?

You'll be equipped with the skills, knowledge, and leadership qualities you'll need to practice in all maternity settings. You'll graduate ready to support women and their families to navigate pregnancies and coordinate more complex care for those with additional needs.

Why choose UEA?

  • Early clinical placements: Begin your placements after six weeks of theory to encourage early exposure to clinical practice. You’ll also choose when to take 10 weeks of allocated vacation

  • NIPE: The UEA are unique in that you’ll complete your BSc with the full six systems of assessment (Eyes, Heart, Hips, Genitalia, Skin & Respiratory) whereas the national NMC approved Midwifery Ongoing Record of Achievement allows HEIs to complete with only four systems

  • Co-created learning: Your voice helps to shape your experience and learning on the programme. We’re 5th in the UK for student voice (National Student Survey 2025)

What is BSc Midwifery?

In UEA’s cutting edge Midwifery degree, you'll study the latest research underpinning current midwifery practices and develop both your critical analysis and ability to evaluate evidence. You'll learn how to work in partnership with women as individuals and make judgments based on their specific situations. You'll then consolidate your learning by putting it into practice whilst on placement.

Our BSc Midwifery degree will also help you develop in-depth knowledge and clinical skills related to the examination of the newborn. And you'll also learn how to support new parents emotionally and physically as they bond with their babies. With our Midwifery degree, you'll not only witness the miracle of birth but also become the pillar of strength and wisdom that new families cherish during this profound chapter of their lives.
