| Bachelor of Midwifery |
This popular and dynamic pre-registration midwifery course leads to an academic award and a qualification as a Registered Midwife. The course consists of approximately 45% theory and 55% clinical practice.
The course is designed to stimulate your curiosity. Emphasis is also placed on motivating you to become a competent professional practitioner. You will develop a keen awareness of the need for continuing education and development throughout your professional career.
A key part of the course is the clinical experience acquired in a range of hospital and community settings. You will have placements in a range of busy obstetric units where you will gain midwifery experience caring for women and families who require specialist input from maternity care teams.
You will also have the opportunity to participate in midwifery care in more remote and rural settings. You will be continuously supported and assessed by midwives during your practice placements. These experienced mentors will develop your skills in the delivery of midwifery care.
Facilities
You will benefit greatly from our purpose-built Clinical Skills Centre, where you will develop your skills and grow in confidence before going out on placement and putting these skills into practice. The Clinical Skills Centre has two ward areas, a High Dependency Unit, a Children's Room and a Home Setting. We also have various child and baby mannequins which we use to simulate real-life clinical practice.
