BA (Hons) Midwifery Practice
Is this the right programme for me?
This is a Bachelor of Arts programme and the content and philosophy reflects this focus.
One of the aims of the programme is to develop midwives who are able to identify their own continuing development needs as independent learners.
This programme will facilitate such a transition by providing you with a range of practice and academic opportunities, through which you can develop in a safe, supported and supervised environment. Educational activities will facilitate the transition to adult learning in which you will take responsibility for your learning, be self-motivated and become orientated to your professional role.

- empathise and engage
- work as a team player
- work and learn in a range of settings
- embrace diversity
- use basic information technology
- communicate effectively
- take responsibility for own actions
- study at undergraduate level
- manage own time and prioritise workload
