Course overview

The BSc Midwifery (Short) for Registered Nurses at the University of Central Lancashire is an intensive, 20-month programme specifically designed to transform graduate registered nurses into registered midwives. This short course prepares you to meet the needs of modern maternity services, enabling you to help women, birthing people, and families enjoy positive and healthy pregnancy and birth experiences.
