Help shape the future of midwifery with our three-year Master of Midwifery programme.
Please note the start date for this course has now moved from September 2021 to January 2022.
Midwives provide skilled, knowledgeable and compassionate care to women, newborn infants and their families. They work across the continuum of pre-pregnancy, pregnancy, labour, birth, postpartum and the early weeks of a newborn infant’s life. To meet these needs our programme reflects a dynamic, student-centred approach to learning, teaching and assessment.
It aims to prepare you for practice as an accountable and autonomous midwife with a focus on:
• mastery of the knowledge and skills required to provide safe and effective midwifery care to women and their families
• the interpersonal and cultural competence required for effective and collaborative working
• developing self-capability in a midwifery leadership context, particularly in relation to quality, safety and efficacy
• demonstrating commitment to ongoing research, audit and service evaluation to enhance professional learning, policy and practice
Please note: We will have a newly NMC accredited Midwifery Programme from January 2022.
The entry requirement for this course is a First degree or Honours degree.
In addition applicants must also have Higher/A Level English grade C, Higher/A Level Biology/Human Biology grade C and National 5/GCSE grade C/4 in Maths, or equivalent.
Interview Requirements
There will be a selection interview and all candidates must meet NMC requirements of good health and good character. Competition for places varies from year-to-year and achievement of the typical minimum does not always guarantee shortlisting for interview or a place on the course. Admission to the programme is dependent upon a satisfactory Protecting Vulnerable Groups Scheme (PVG) check. This will be conducted as part of the induction week. The cost of the PVG check will be paid by the University.

On successful completion of the course, you will be well equipped for your role as a Registered Midwife. This will also be supported by a process of lifelong learning and development throughout your career through a process known as revalidation. This is set out in ‘The Code: Professional standards of practice and behaviour for nurses, midwives and nursing associates’. Registrants are expected to:
Promote professionalism and trust
Prioritise people
Practice effectively
Preserve safety
These standards are firmly embedded in our programme of professional learning and you will be expected to adhere to these as a student midwife. Midwifery roles extend into other aspects of practice including, midwifery research, specialist roles and education.
