Midwifery (Shortened Programme) MSc

University of Bradford

Our Midwifery (Shortened Programme) provides an innovative opportunity for adult nurses currently registered with the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) to acquire a registration in midwifery. The course features a student-centred blended learning approach with practice-based learning in regional NHS trusts. The contemporary flexible delivery and supported distance learning using enhanced digital technologies, enables you to arrange your studies around both your commitments and learning needs. Supporting women across the childbearing continuum, midwives provide safe, respectful, kind, compassionate, and holistic individualised care. Your role will include public health promotion, providing evidence-based care and making positive contributions towards the health of women, babies and families, impacting the wider society. As a skilled and competent practitioner, you will work in partnership with women to make decisions about their care, and with other team members you will demonstrate positive role modelling and leadership. You will develop skills that enable you to optimise normal physiological processes, promote positive outcomes and manage complications. The MSc Midwifery (Shortened Programme) prepares you for this challenging and rewarding role using a problem-based learning approach which supports complex decision-making and teamwork. You will develop your professional autonomy throughout the course by learning to apply critical thinking to clinical practice, which will prepare you to emerge as an innovative and dynamic midwife. On completion of the programme, you will be entitled to register with the NMC as a midwife and practice within the UK.
