Masters in Midwifery

Launched in 2021, the School of Nursing and Midwifery is delighted to be able to offer an innovative programme in Midwifery aimed at existing Adult Nurses who want to move into a career in Midwifery.  

Midwifery is a rewarding, dynamic and highly skilled profession. This course will equip students with the knowledge, skills and attributes to deliver woman-centred, compassionate, safe and effective care. You will have the opportunity to learn in our new state-of-the-art Simulation Centre and complete practice placements in a range of settings.

The programme has been co-designed with all relevant stakeholders including maternity service users and carers, midwifery students and practice partners to ensure adequate preparation for midwifery practice on completion. The programme will ensure you meet all requirements for registration as a midwife on successful completion including systematic examination of the newborn.

The course is taught by experts in Midwifery who will support you in becoming a caring, autonomous and evidence based practitioner incorporating leadership skills and working in partnership with women, families, and communities.  Our focus on interdisciplinary learning throughout the two year course will enrich your experience and help prepare you for professional practice.
