Supported by midwives and academic staff throughout your training, our course balances theory and practice to prepare you with the knowledge, skills and leadership to work as a midwife as an independent practitioner and within the multidisciplinary and agency team.
A midwife is the lead practitioner for women with low-risk care and must make decisions and coordinate and manage care for women with complex needs in conjunction with the woman and the wider team.
A range of practice placements allows you to develop your skills as a midwife and put into practice the theory you have learnt in University. Our trust partners include County Durham and Darlington Foundation Trust, Gateshead Health NHS Foundation Trust, North Tees and Hartlepool NHS Foundation Trust and South Tees NHS Foundation Trust.
The latest research underpins the course and will develop your critical analysis skills to deliver care to the highest standard for women.
You are expected to have:
At least five GCSEs at grade 4 (C) or above, including English language, maths and a science subject.
Key Skills/Functional Skills Level 2 in Communication and Application of Numbers can be accepted in place of English and Maths GCSE.
