Midwifery (Blended Learning)

Ranked 2nd in Yorkshire and the Humber for nursing and midwifery, the University of Leeds is proud to be one of just four UK institutions to offer a blended learning degree in midwifery in partnership with Health Education England (HEE).

This blended learning midwifery degree is an innovative and accessible way to begin your pathway to becoming the best midwife you can be. Our flexible approach will allow you to balance the course with other commitments you may have such as caring responsibilities.

Developed in partnership with The Leeds Maternity Voices Partnership (MVP) and some of our current students, you'll benefit from the real life experiences and perspectives of women and families.

You'll have access to all the innovative technologies available at Leeds such as simulation and augmented and virtual reality while still gaining essential practice experience on campus, in practice settings and within Leeds Teaching Hospitals Trust and York District Hospital.

This course will enable you to become a future-focused midwife who has the competence and confidence to think critically and deliver high-quality, compassionate and evidence-informed care. You'll develop resilience and become a role model for other professionals and the women, birthing people and families you'll provide care to.

You'll be taught how to work inclusively with all women, birthing people, their families and others involved in care.
