Midwifery (including Foundation Year) BSc BSc BSc

Be at the forefront of new life as you learn the fundamentals to becoming a dynamic, compassionate and competent midwife.<br/><br/>Our Midwifery course is balanced between theory and practice placement experience. Fifty per cent is theory based, and in our state-of-the-art simulation suite, we utilise high-fidelity, computer- assisted simulation mannequins to facilitate universal, additional care and emergency scenarios. This offers simulated reality and learning in a safe environment.<br/><br/>The other half of the course is based in practice, where you will be exposed to the realism of midwifery practice-based care, in which you will endeavour to reach your potential to become the best midwife you can be. You will be fully supported during practice placements by midwives who are either practice supervisors or assessors, and your university academic assessor.<br/><br/>As a future midwife, the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) expect you to provide high-quality, safe, evidenced-based care for women and their families. After completing this course, you will be able to register as a midwife on the NMC professional register.<br/><br/>Foundation Year courses have been designed for students who do not have the necessary academic qualifications needed to enter directly into the first year of a degree but who have the ability and commitment to do so.<br/><br/>Teaching of this Foundation Year will be at our Chester campus. Once the Foundation Year has been completed successfully, you can then proceed onto the accredited Midwifery course.
