BSc (Hons) Midwifery

At BNU, we’ll help prepare you for your career in midwifery so you can then help mothers through one of the most vulnerable times in their lives and meet the growing demand for midwives.

You’ll benefit from our combined learning approach of theory and practice, supportive and experienced course team, and our specialist facilities. Upon completion of the degree, you’ll be eligible to register with the Nursing & Midwifery Council.

There is huge demand for midwives in hospitals around the country. Each birth is a unique experience for mother and baby, but midwifery is about so much more than just delivering babies. It is about the professional care of mothers – before, during, and after the birth of their child - helping to keep them safe and comfortable during this intimate and life-changing experience.
