BMid (Hons) Midwifery

Our BMid (Hons) philosophy seeks to educate midwifery graduates who will positively impact women, families and communities throughout their professional lives.

The BMid (Hons) course at York will equip you to become a skilled, knowledgeable and compassionate midwife, able to provide excellent care for women, newborn infants and families. The course has learning through research and enquiry at its centre, and is focused on contemporary midwifery and maternity care.

The course provides an equal balance of theory and practice learning which will enable you to develop comprehensive interpersonal skills to build and sustain relationships, working in partnership with women and families. You will also work effectively within interdisciplinary and multi agency care teams.

Through varied and stimulating academic and practice learning modules you will gain the knowledge, skills and experience to provide safe, universal and advanced midwifery care.

We keep our cohorts small, meaning you’ll have all the peer and academic support you need to progress through your course.

Accreditation

After completing this degree, you'll be eligible to register with the Nursing and Midwifery Council, the professional regulatory body for nurses and midwives in the UK.

Our current midwifery courses are also fully accredited by the Baby Friendly Initiative (BFI) which sets standards to facilitate effective parent–baby relationships and choices regarding infant feeding.

Prepare for a challenging and rewarding professional career as a midwife.
