Course summary
On successful completion of this Master’s degree, you will be eligible to register as a midwife on the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) Professional Register. Midwives offer care and support to pregnant women/birthing people, their partners, and their families. They provide care throughout the pregnancy continuum, which includes antenatal, intrapartum, and postpartum care. Equality and diversity are important for providing high-quality care for women/birthing persons and their families. Within our midwifery programmes, we aim to provide a truly inclusive curriculum, recognising and valuing differences in the broadest sense. We also strive to ensure all our midwifery students feel valued and included. The MSc Midwifery Post RN (pre-registration) programme is aimed at Adult Nursing graduates (NMC registered) wishing to pursue a career in midwifery. This is an opportunity to study midwifery at master's level, providing a strong basis for a future career in clinical work, alongside research, education, management, leadership, or consultancy. Our Midwifery curriculum is UNICEF Baby Friendly accredited, and in February 2021, we achieved the Gold Award status, demonstrating our highest commitment to infant feeding education for student midwives. You will:
- Learn to practice autonomously, preparing for a career as a registered midwife.
- Develop the skills to provide care throughout the pregnancy continuum.
- Develop and maintain a portfolio of personal and professional development (PDP).
