Many of our academic staff are registered midwives and active in practice and research, providing professional insight and practical expertise. Our excellent facilities include a realistic clinical suite, so you can put your theoretical knowledge into practice. You can also gain experience in antenatal education, postnatal and breastfeeding support by taking part in activities offered through our on-site Health and Wellbeing Academy. As a midwifery student, around half of your course will be spent on clinical work placements, which will give you the practical skills you need to begin your career as a midwife. When applying for this course, you should show that you understand the role of the midwife and demonstrate your knowledge of some of the issues in current midwifery practice. Your application should explain why you think you'd be a good midwife and show your commitment to midwifery as your future career.
