Why study at Buckinghamshire New University?
Excellent simulation facilities
At both our Uxbridge and Aylesbury campuses, we have impressive facilities with state-of-the-art equipment. You’ll get to recreate real scenarios in realistic ‘wards’ so when you’re out on placement you’ll be familiar with your surroundings and be confident in your midwifery skills.
NMC registration
Upon completing this degree, you will be qualified to register with the Nursing & Midwifery Council, beginning a distinguished career as a registered mental health nurse.
Local placements
You'll choose whether to study at our Aylesbury Campus, in Buckinghamshire, or at our Uxbridge Campus in West London. Approximately half of your time on the course will be spent on a clinical placement with local trusts across a wide range of maternity services. By partnering with nearby organisations and services, we are able to more thoroughly support you during your placement.
Designed in consultation with the sector
Our BSc (Hons) Midwifery is designed in collaboration with practice partners, service users and the University, and focuses on giving you the confidence and skills to provide patient-centred care, working to promote positive outcomes and to anticipate and prevent complications.
Support
Whilst midwifery is a rewarding career, we also understand studying midwifery at university can be challenging at times. Throughout your time on the course you’ll gain direct support both in the classroom and on placement, as we provide a personal tutor who will check in with you on a regular basis and practice visitors to support your learning in practice.
On campus you can find further support in the form of our Student Wellbeing Centre and our Student Learning Achievement Centre. Here we will be able to help you with a range of areas such as academic writing and building your CV.
To financially support your studies, the UK Government are continuing to provide midwifery students with a payment of at least £5,000 a year which will not need to be paid back. Find out more about the NHS Learning Support Fund and the eligibility criteria.
