Course overview
The BSc (Hons) Midwifery Shortened programme is a route into Midwifery for Adult Nurses who hold current registration with the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC). The programme is slightly shorter (two years) than the standard entry route into midwifery to take into account the pre-existing knowledge and experience that adult nurses bring. Upon successful completion of the course, students will obtain an additional NMC registration as a Midwife. | The course has been developed in line with the appropriate NMC Standards and is designed to optimise learning opportunities and account for the pre-existing knowledge that students bring.
We build on the fundamental nursing skills of our students, equipping you with the aptitude to deliver safe, effective, high-quality and evidence-based maternity care to service users.
