About Midwifery, BSc (Hons) - at Buckinghamshire New University

At BNU, we’ll help prepare you for your career in midwifery so you can then help mothers through one of the most vulnerable times in their lives and meet the growing demand for midwives.

You’ll benefit from our combined learning approach of theory and practice, supportive and experienced course team, and our specialist facilities.

NHS Training grant of £5,000; check eligibility criteria at the NHS website. 

Designed in collaboration with practice partners, service users and the University, our degree focuses on:

  • continuum of care
  • optimising physiological processes
  • supporting safe physical, psychological, social, cultural, and spiritual situations
  • working to promote positive outcomes and to anticipate and prevent complications.

You’ll either be based at our Aylesbury Campus, in Buckinghamshire, or at our Uxbridge Campus, in West London. You’ll benefit from a mix of on-campus and distance teaching as well as local placements.

Our experienced and supportive lecturers are passionate about midwifery and maintain close links with practice, ensuring that the programme is always kept up-to-date. In addition, guest speakers will deliver sessions, so you can benefit from their specific experiences, expertise, and insights.

At BNU, we recognise roles in this field are hands-on – that’s why you’ll take part in simulated learning experiences throughout the course using our specialised facilities. This will enable you to recreate authentic scenarios and practise your skills and build your confidence in a safe environment.

The NHS Trust we are currently working with for clinical placements include:

  • Buckinghamshire Healthcare NHS trust
  • Frimley Health NHS Foundation Trust (Wexham Park and Frimley Park)
  • Royal Berkshire NHS Foundation Trust
  • Milton Keynes University Hospital NHS Foundation Trust

Upon completion of the degree, you’ll be eligible to register with the Nursing & Midwifery Council.

Many midwives choose to become part of the core staff required in hospitals and we are currently seeing a shortage of midwives in hospitals around the UK. There is also a vast array of roles which midwifes can choose to specialise in, such as:

  • Diabetes
  • Safeguarding
  • Bereavement
  • Vulnerable client groups
  • Consultant midwives
  • Education
  • Multiple pregnancy midwives
  • Specialist screening.
