Course summary
Our MSc in Midwifery (pre-registration) is for graduates with a first degree, leading to registration at master’s level. You will have the opportunity to develop and refine your academic skills. This allows you to:
- critique and synthesise the best available evidence base which informs clinical midwifery
- identify areas to improve knowledge
- engage in undertaking research that aims to improve an aspect of care provision for women and their families during pregnancy, childbirth and beyond.
Assessment method
This is a three year midwifery course aimed at those with a first class or 2:1 bachelors degree, plus Biology or Human Biology A level at grade B or above.
