Work completed by specialist researchers at University of Cumbria’s Institute of Health is helping to shape the future of midwifery education nationally.

The extraordinary success of students from University of Cumbria who were the first in their families to attend university is being highlighted in a new national campaign, led by Universities UK.

As part of its mission to drive higher-level skills across the North West and beyond, University of Cumbria is receiving a further investment to power its expansion of degree apprenticeships. 

Carlisle United and University of Cumbria have signed a Memorandum of Understanding that will help them work together on areas of common interest to support the community and the development of vital higher-level skills for the region. 

Work has begun to appoint the first roles to an exciting £4.8m scheme that will create a centre of excellence in research into local health-related issues affecting people in north and west Cumbria.
