This postgraduate programme addresses the evolving landscape of maternity services, equipping you with advanced knowledge and skills in universal and additional midwifery care, professional practice, and innovation. You will delve into critical areas such as health and society, and the professional aspects of midwifery, preparing you for the complexities and responsibilities of modern midwifery practice in the UK, meeting the requirements of the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC).
You will study this Masters degree full-time on campus over three years, engaging in a blend of theoretical learning and extensive practical experience. The curriculum includes modules like Midwifery Practice 1, 2, and 3, alongside opportunities to develop skills in research and innovation.
