Modules

The duration of the course is two years and has been developed with input from students, service users and our NHS partners to provide you with the academic and professional qualifications you need to be eligible to register with the NMC as a midwife. You will be studying alongside students on the BMidwifery (Hons) course, albeit studying at a higher academic level. Throughout the course, there is a strong emphasis on childbirth as a normal physiological process and you will gain a sound understanding of the role of the midwife and the foundations of midwifery care. As you progress through the course, you will develop and apply your knowledge to a variety of contexts. You will learn:

• to become a kind, caring and compassionate midwife who can take the lead in providing women with the best care possible in a safe, supportive environment

• how to recognise and manage a range of complex and emergency situations

• how to engage with current research and apply evidence to your practice

• to work as a professional, both on your own and as part of an interdisciplinary team.

• including online and face-to-face lectures

• group tutorials

• one to one learning opportunities

• classroom activities

• practical skills
