The course is split equally between tuition in QUB and in clinical practice.

The Midwifery course at the Queen's University Belfast is taught by midwifery experts in education and research, clinicians and specialist practitioners who will support you in becoming a caring, compassionate and competent midwife providing high quality care. The inclusion of interdisciplinary learning throughout the three year course will enrich your experience and prepare you for working together in practice.

There are many career opportunities for midwives, whether in practice, education or research. You may choose to pursue further academic study at Master’s or PhD level or specialise further in practice in a specific area, such as mental health or drug and alcohol addiction. Midwives who graduate from QUB are in demand, both regionally and nationally and we have a very high employment rate for newly qualified midwives.
