Postgraduate Prospectus

This course has a start date in September

The course aims to enable midwives to develop, deliver and direct high quality midwifery services within the context of the national and international drive towards improving maternity/health outcomes for the childbearing woman and her family. The students will study in depth the art and science of midwifery and the ethical, political, legal, economic, multi-professional and global context in which midwifery is practised. It also aims to equip midwives with the knowledge and skills required to operate at senior levels in today’s midwifery and health care services. To achieve this, the Division of Midwifery offers a learning environment that facilitates the development of reflective, analytical and critical thinking and the ability to lead and manage change. 

Applicants from certain countries may have these requirements waived subject to The University of Nottingham Policy for Waiving English language Entry Requirements.
