Midwifery (BMidwif) course will develop you into a highly employable, first-class midwife. You will follow a woman-centred approach to midwifery care thanks to a curriculum that has been highly commended by the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC). Our course also includes themes such as applying bioscience knowledge to practice, tackling health inequalities and evidence-based practice. Your study time will be divided equally between academic and  practice-based learning , enabling you to apply theory to work. You will learn from some of the country's leading midwifery lecturers, researchers and clinicians, as well as experts from across the University. Upon graduation, you will be able to register with the NMC and practice midwifery anywhere in the UK, as well as in many other parts of the world. We aim to give you the clinical, communication and thinking skills needed to provide high-quality midwifery care for women and families from a range of diverse backgrounds, as well as to coordinate services from the wider health, social care and voluntary sectors. By the end of this course, you will have developed into a competent and compassionate midwife with a unique set of skills in woman-centred care, clinical decision-making, leadership, research, and public health. Unit assessments vary and include written and multiple-choice exams, essays, case studies, poster presentations, online work, vivas, a skills lab-based exam and the dissertation. Most units also include the assessment of relevant skills in practice, which are carried out by the midwifery mentors during your clinical placements. All assessments must be passed in order to meet the professional requirements of the NMC. Course regulations govern the decision to offer a second or subsequent attempt at any failed assessment.
