MSc in Midwifery Studies in Newcastle-Upon-Tyne United Kingdom | Northumbria University

The term "midwife" originates from "with woman," reflecting a centuries-old bond between midwives and those they serve. While "pregnant woman" remains widely used in global maternity care guidelines, our MSc Midwifery Studies program addresses the evolving landscape of childbirth and midwifery's future while honoring its core principles.

This master's program fulfills Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) standards, qualifying graduates for UK midwifery registration. Expanding on our BSc (Hons) Midwifery Studies foundation, we enhance clinical competencies while elevating academic rigor, emphasizing innovation, leadership, and research capabilities.

Graduates emerge as confident practitioners capable of providing exceptional care to birthing individuals, newborns, and families. The program additionally prepares students for advanced roles in research and leadership, developing specialized skills to advance midwifery practice.

Through our cutting-edge clinical skills center and diverse placement opportunities—including specialized areas like perinatal mental health—students experience hands-on training with continuity of care models, utilizing industry-leading equipment and techniques.
