Descripción del programa

Midwifery is a rewarding, dynamic, and highly skilled profession. This course will equip you with the knowledge, skills, and attributes to deliver woman and family-centered, safe, and effective care, and work alongside interdisciplinary teams in maternity services as a Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) registered midwife. Students in this program will begin in September 2023.

Our personal tutor system for student support is very well regarded, and we were awarded the Best Student Experience award in the 2021 Student Nursing Times Awards.

You will have the opportunity to learn in our state-of-the-art clinical skills and simulation suite and complete practice placements in a range of clinical settings including hospital and community with our internationally-recognized training partners. The course is split equally between tuition in this university and in clinical practice.

The course 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.

This program is fully funded by the Department of Health for Home students, including full fees and a bursary. Students in this program are ineligible to apply for funding from the Student Loans Company. It is not available as a part-time program.

The course has been designed to meet local strategic drivers in maternity care, whilst meeting the requirements of the National Medical Commission (NMC)Standards to register as a midwife and is developed in partnership with service users, local voluntary and charitable organizations, and stakeholders.

The program will develop knowledge, skills, and attributes central to midwifery practice: woman/family-centered; clinically effective; competent and safe; evidence-based; and established on caring and ethical principles. It provides students with direct contact with women, their babies, and their families in the home, hospital, and community settings under the supervision and guidance of lecturers and skilled midwives.

The course is modular and designed to develop the knowledge and skills that students will require to deal with normal midwifery practice and to coordinate the care of women experiencing complexity during pregnancy.

Midwifery Degree Highlights

Queen's is the only university in Northern Ireland offering a degree in Midwifery.

Professional Accreditations

Professional registration with the Nursing and Midwifery Council as a midwife.

Career Development

Midwives learn to be an integral part of a healthcare team. Within this School, multidisciplinary teams of medical students and midwifery students work together during interprofessional learning scenarios. Final-year Midwifery students teach fourth-year medical students about normal pregnancy and birth as part of this exercise.

World Class Facilities

It is important for students to rehearse and advance skills in a safe environment which can be achieved through the use of state-of-the-art simulation equipment. Our revolutionary facilities allow our educators to role-play scenarios, including simulated birthing and emergency situations. The KN Cheung Sk Chin Interim Centre opened in 2021, which is one of a few in the UK to incorporate simulation-based education with an interdisciplinary approach including Medical, Nursing, Midwifery, Dentistry, and Pharmacy students who learn alongside one another.
