COURSE CURRICULUM

The BSc (Hons) Midwifery degree provides a comprehensive and structured pathway for students to develop the knowledge, skills, and professional attributes required to become competent and compassionate midwives. In the first year, students build a foundation in midwifery through modules covering the fundamentals of women, newborn, and family health, as well as a holistic approach to care. This is complemented by professional development and initial practical experience in midwifery practice, enabling students to understand the principles of safe and effective care. In the second year, the focus shifts towards evidence-based practice and continuity of care, allowing students to apply research-informed knowledge to support women and families throughout the maternity journey. Professional development continues alongside more advanced midwifery practice, fostering critical thinking, reflective practice, and professional decision-making. The third year emphasizes autonomy, leadership, and positive change in midwifery, preparing students to take responsibility for care delivery in diverse settings. Advanced professional development and extended clinical practice ensure students consolidate their skills and confidence in real-world environments, readying them for registration and professional practice. Throughout the degree, the combination of theoretical learning and hands-on experience ensures graduates are fully prepared to provide safe, personalised, and evidence-based midwifery care in a variety of healthcare contexts.
