Overview

Midwifery Studies from Northumbria University has been designed to meet the requirements of the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC), enabling you to apply for professional registration as a midwife in the UK upon successful completion of your degree. Building upon our successful BSc (Hons) Midwifery Studies course, we will support you to develop the knowledge and skills of a competent midwife. However, the MSc will also develop your graduate capabilities further, enabling you to work at a higher academic level, with a greater focus on innovation, leadership and research skills.

You will leave the course as a confident graduate who is able to deliver high quality care to childbearing women, their babies and families. Not only this, you will also be equipped to take up exciting research and leadership roles, with competencies that will help you move into more specialist areas and support improvements in midwifery care.

Careers

The MSc Midwifery Studies programme will prepare graduates to be capable clinical midwives, but also to undertake leadership roles, future study and professional development.

Midwives can practice in both hospital and community environments, meaning there are many job opportunities once qualified. Our MSc placement options will put you in a good position to pursue specialist or management level roles as your career progresses.

You will be encouraged to define your learning needs and priorities, demonstrating a proactive approach to your own lifelong learning, to ensure you achieve all the requirements of the programme and in readiness for future employment.
