BSc (Hons) Midwifery

Welcome to your course

Welcome to The University of Cumbria and what we hope will be a challenging but rewarding programme enabling you to apply for registration as a midwife on the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) Professional Register.

This programme is offered by the Department of Nursing, Health and Professional Practice. The department also offers professional programmes in Occupational Therapy, Radiography, Physiotherapy, Social Work and all four branches of Nursing. You will meet and work with students on these programmes in each year. We’re delighted that you have accepted a place with us and look forward to meeting you again when you join us in September.

The first week of any course is an exciting prospect. However, we do recognise this can also be daunting to many of our students. To make sure you enjoy your first week of the course we have prepared a welcome week, which is designed to enable you to settle into university life, get to know your peers and the academic midwifery team and introduce you to the fundamentals of contemporary midwifery practice.
