Midwifery

Gain the skills and experience to launch a rewarding and valued career as a midwife with our prestigious, internationally recognised Midwifery degree course.

You will develop the clinical and interpersonal expertise to ensure a woman’s physical and emotional well-being during pregnancy, childbirth and early parenthood. You will also learn to analyse, evaluate, and critique research studies to support reflective and evidence-based study and practice.

Half of your teaching takes place in the university and the other half in practice placements, working with midwives in community-based teams, midwifery-led birth centres and hospital maternity units.

We have excellent links with Welsh health boards, so you will have access to a wide range of placement settings across south west Wales, with the nearest maternity hospital right next-door to our Singleton Park campus on the edge of the beautiful Gower Peninsula.

Our BMid (Hons) Midwifery degree has been designed to meet the Nursing & Midwifery Council (NMC) standards and completion of our course will enable students to demonstrate achievement of the NMC Standards of proficiency for midwives.
