Midwifery Studies (Extended Degree)

About this course

Midwifery is the profession responsible for supporting women and their families through pregnancy, labour, birth, and the early postnatal period. Midwives provide care that is both highly skilled and deeply personal: they assess maternal and foetal wellbeing, facilitate normal birth, recognise complications and escalate care appropriately, provide emotional and psychological support, and help new parents establish feeding and bonding in the critical first days and weeks of their baby's life. It is a profession that demands clinical competence, independent judgement, and the capacity for compassionate care under pressure. At Northumbria this four-year extended degree is designed around the future direction of midwifery practice while drawing on the essential elements of the discipline. You will develop as a proficient and confident practitioner, with investment in personal capabilities,
