Overview

The Midwifery (Shortened) programme from The University of Lancashire will train you to help women, birthing people and families to enjoy positive and healthy pregnancy and birth experiences. All aspects of the preconception and childbirth continuum are addressed via theoretical preparation in university and supervised, preparation in a clinical setting.

You’ll benefit from a case-based approach to learning, which is used to facilitate development of the skills required of a competent midwife. You’ll spend half of your time learning skills in clinical practice, and the other half learning the theory, through a blended learning approach.

What you'll do

You’ll have the opportunity to use clinical skill labs, which provide a safe environment to put theoretical knowledge into practice.

Within your programme, you will have the opportunity to participate in an elective placement, which can be either national or international, allowing you to explore midwifery in a different setting.

You have the opportunity to join the award-wining University Midwifery Society and Passionate Midwifery Forums.

Future careers

Your midwifery qualifications and experience will open up a wide range of options to further develop your career.

Once you complete the course, you will become a registered midwife, registered with the Nursing and Midwifery Council. You’ll have the opportunity to apply to work as a midwife within the NHS or other independent midwifery settings.

You may also have the opportunity to work nationally or internationally, exploring midwifery in a global context.
