Embark on your academic journey with the Midwifery MPhil at the University of Worcester, a postgraduate research degree designed for aspiring scholars passionate about advancing midwifery practice and maternal health. This programme is ideal if you possess a strong interest in research methodologies and wish to contribute original knowledge to the field, addressing critical issues in contemporary midwifery. You will engage with a vibrant research community, supported by faculty with extensive expertise in clinical midwifery, supervision, and diverse care settings, ensuring a rich and intellectually stimulating environment for your doctoral studies.
This full-time, on-campus MPhil is structured over two to four years, allowing for in-depth research and thesis development. Your studies will involve close collaboration with a dedicated supervisory team, including a Director of Studies, and engagement with core researcher development modules such as "Approaches to Research" and "Planning Your Research Project." Throughout your programme, you will participate in annual progress reviews and, typically towards the end of your second year, you may transfer to a PhD. You will graduate with advanced research skills, prepared for academic careers, policy development, or leadership roles within midwifery and healthcare organisations.
