Midwifery

About this course

Midwifery is a professional degree that prepares you to support women and birthing people through pregnancy, labour, birth, and the postnatal period as a registered, independent practitioner. Midwives are not simply attendants at birth: they are autonomous healthcare professionals who carry responsibility for assessing, planning, and delivering care across the full continuum of maternity, from early pregnancy through to the weeks following birth, and who work in partnership with women and their families to make informed decisions about their care. The role demands clinical expertise, strong communication skills, emotional resilience, and a deep commitment to woman-centred care. At Cardiff University, midwifery is studied over three years of full-time study, combining academic education with substantial clinical practice in a range of maternity settings in Wales.
