Become part of a global network of students learning together to transform lives and improve healthcare outcomes by studying this post-qualifying programme. Students will be energised to develop an in-depth knowledge and understanding of topics relating to their professional practice.
The programme has been designed to meet the needs of both UK based and international midwives. This is a flexible, interactive, distance learning programme, so students can study whenever and wherever they want.

There are two intakes per year (September and January). The programme can be completed within two years, or a maximum of three years (for students who require 120 credits). Normally students will be required to complete 120 credits (four modules). However, if a degree level module has been completed within the last five years, these credits can be transferred into the programme.

Students will normally undertake four modules, one of which must include the core module (Introduction to Research Based Practice). This module is invaluable for midwives to apply evidence-based practice to their professional context.

We have an international reputation for providing a flexible programme designed to offer a student-centred approach to post-qualifying education. The programme is offered on a part-time basis and delivered through high quality online distance learning. A small number of modules are also delivered partly face-to-face for locally based students.

About this course

This programme facilitates the development of graduate, lifelong learning skills (such as critical reflection, critical thinking, problem-solving and the use of evidence-based practice) to enhance the student’s professional and academic skills. This will maximise the opportunities for career development and progression.

The BSc programmes are for nurses, midwives and other health and social care contexts such as the voluntary sector, managers, non-governmental organisations (NGOs), physiotherapists and nutritionists.
As our programmes are delivered through on-line distance learning you will need reliable access to the internet.
All applicants are required to demonstrate the achievement of 120 credits at level 7 and 120 credits at level 8 (or equivalent) prior to commencing the programme. This is usually demonstrated by the programme leading to your professional qualification.
