BSc (Hons) Midwifery

Balanced between theoretical study and placement-based practice, our BSc Midwifery degree will equip you with all the skills, knowledge and leadership qualities you need to excel as a midwife. You’ll graduate ready to help pregnant people and their families navigate their pregnancies as their lead practitioner in all midwifery care, and able to manage and coordinate more complex care for those with additional needs.

In UEA’s cutting edge course, you’ll study the latest research underpinning current midwifery practices, and develop both your critical analysis and ability to evaluate evidence. You’ll learn how to evaluate patients as individuals and make judgments based on their specific situations. You’ll then consolidate your learning by putting it into practice while on placement.

Our Midwifery course will also help you to develop in-depth knowledge and clinical skills related to the examination of newborns. And you’ll learn how to support new parents emotionally and physically as they breastfeed and bond with their babies.

Our rigorous and respected programme means you'll graduate ready to register with the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) and begin a successful and rewarding career as a registered midwife. The training you receive will be well regarded by NHS Trusts, so you can look forward to a lifelong role caring for pregnant people and their families during pregnancy, at the time of their babies’ birth, and in the postnatal period.

Registered Midwives are required to keep a portfolio to demonstrate that their skills and knowledge are up to date with continuing professional development, and this forms part of the NMC’s revalidation requirements to remain on the professional register.

Examples of careers that you could enter include:

• NHS Midwife in a hospital or community setting
• Specialist opportunities – e.g. diabetes, vulnerable/disadvantaged pregnant people, fetal medicine
• Consultant midwife
• Midwifery educationalist or researcher
• Independent midwife (midwives are autonomous practitioners and may work independently of the NHS).
