Midwifery Degrees

Simulation Learning

Our Clinical Simulation Centre replicates clinical environments for education and training. These include two, four-bedded bays to simulate a hospital setting, dedicated paediatric and maternity facilities, including a special care baby unit, an intensive care environment and an emergency department with a fully equipped ambulance simulator.

Expert Teaching and Support

The University prides itself on the support it gives to students on its nursing degrees, both practically and emotionally. Every student has a personal tutor and a module supervisor. During clinical placements students are fully supported by a qualified supervisor who acts as a ‘mentor’. 

Qualify as a Midwife

The University of South Wales is an NMC Approved Education Institution (AEI). Successful completion of this Midwifery course allows you to register with the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) as a qualified (registered) midwife.

Industry Placements

Gain experience on clinical placements in a number of local health boards, each lasting several weeks. You’ll work alongside registered practitioners to care for patients with multiple and complex care needs. You will be fully supported by a qualified midwife, who acts as a mentor throughout your placement. 

Employability Built-In

Midwives have the opportunity to work in different healthcare settings and gain experience in all aspects of caring for mothers and babies. They can develop their midwifery career in many different ways: as a clinical specialist, a consultant midwife or in management as a head of midwifery services or supervisor of midwives at local authority level.

Cutting-Edge Facilities

Our state of the art Clinical Simulation Centre is set up to replicate an acute care NHS environment, providing realistic clinical facilities for students on our Midwifery degree. We have advanced birthing and maternal simulators that can simulate various stages of pregnancy, including birth, and breech presentations.
