Career prospects
Midwifery is an exciting and diverse career choice. As the main healthcare professionals for the pregnant mother and her family throughout the childbearing process, midwives play a fundamental role in providing care and advice during pregnancy and birth, and in the postnatal period. Midwives care for all women and their families during pregnancy, labour and the puerperium, liaising with other professionals as and when required, and are the lead professional for healthy women who experience a straightforward pregnancy.
A master's degree in midwifery will provide a strong basis for a future career in research, education, management or consultancy. It is hoped that future graduates will influence midwifery practice in the UK and elsewhere.
