Sighthill Campus
Midwives provide skilled, knowledgeable and compassionate care to women, newborn infants and their families. They work across the continuum of pre-pregnancy, pregnancy, labour, birth, postpartum and the early weeks of a newborn infant’s life. To meet these needs our programme reflects a dynamic, student-centred approach to learning, teaching and assessment.
It aims to prepare you for practice as an accountable and autonomous midwife with a focus on:
• mastery of the knowledge and skills required to provide safe and effective midwifery care to women and their families
• the interpersonal and cultural competence required for effective and collaborative working
• developing self-capability in a midwifery leadership context, particularly in relation to quality, safety and efficacy
• demonstrating commitment to ongoing research, audit and service evaluation to enhance professional learning, policy and practice
Please note:
We will have a newly NMC accredited Midwifery Programme from January 2022.
The Masters of Midwifery is a three year pre-registration programme that leads to a midwifery qualification and entry onto a professional register. Therefore our admissions policy reflects the requirements of the NMC (2009) Standards for pre–registration midwifery education.
To apply for this programme you must possess a First or Honours degree. In addition you must also have Higher English, Biology/Hunan Biology at C plus Maths at National 5, or equivalent.
There will be a selection interview and all candidates must meet NMC requirements of good health and good character.
You will require a satisfactory criminal record check from Disclosure Scotland to show that you are suitable for this type of course. Contact Disclosure Scotland for details on the type you would need.
