MSc Midwifery

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 program 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.

You must have current registration with the Nursing and Midwifery Council as a Registered Nurse (Adult), as well as at least 12 months of full-time (or equivalent) post-registration experience in general care.

You should have a degree equivalent to UK first-class or lower second-class honors (2:2 or above) in adult nursing. A DipHE in adult nursing is also accepted if you have evidence of study at level 6 or higher within the last five years.

GCSE English Language and GCSE Mathematics are required at Grade C or Grade 4 or above (or equivalent).

An interview forms part of the selection process.

If you accept an offer from Edge Hill you will need to satisfy the requirements of the Nursing & Midwifery Council in respect of physical and mental fitness and will be required to apply for a Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) Enhanced Disclosure indicating that you meet the mandatory criteria of ‘Clearance to Work with Children and/or Vulnerable Adults’. Further information will be sent to you after you have firmly accepted an offer.
