What will I learn?

Are you a qualified nurse seeking dual registration as a midwife? Do you have a minimum of one year’s practice in adult nursing? Do you want to help families by becoming a confident, effective and compassionate midwife? Then this comprehensive MSc Midwifery degree, accredited by the Nursing and Midwifery Council, is just right for you.

We’ve designed this course to make the transition to the field of midwifery – and postgraduate study – as smooth as possible. You’ll build on your existing skills in adult nursing and gain important leadership and management skills.

The programme focuses on universal care, as well as caring for families with complex needs. You’ll become an autonomous, evidence-based and research-aware practitioner, able to deliver excellent care and respond to the challenges of the midwifery profession.

Your future career

As a registered midwife, you’ll have a wide choice of career options. The different settings where you could work include:

  • NHS or independent-sector hospitals
  • local community clinics
  • birth centres
  • children’s centres
  • GP surgeries

Many of our graduates work on antenatal, labour and post-labour wards, and in neonatal units. Alternatively, you might go on to work in education, counselling, research, specialist practitioner roles and management.
