MSc Midwifery Post RN (pre-registration)

On successful completion of this Master’s degree, you will be eligible to register as a midwife on the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) Professional Register.

Midwives offer care and support to pregnant women/birthing people, their partners, and their families. They provide care throughout the pregnancy continuum which includes antenatal, intrapartum and postpartum care.

Equality and diversity is important for providing high- quality care for women/birthing persons and their families. Within our midwifery programmes we aim to provide a truly inclusive curriculum recognising and valuing difference in broadest sense. We also strive to ensure all our midwifery students feel valued and included.

The MSc Midwifery Post RN (pre-registration) programme is aimed at Adult Nursing graduates (NMC registered) wishing to pursue a career in midwifery. This is an opportunity to study midwifery at master's level, providing a strong basis for a future career in clinical work, alongside research, education, management, leadership or consultancy.

Our Midwifery curriculum is UNICEF Baby Friendly accredited and in February 2021 we achieved the Gold Award status demonstrating our highest commitment to infant feeding education for student midwives.

• Learn to practice autonomously, preparing for a career as a registered midwife

• Develop the skills to provide care throughout the pregnancy continuum
