Midwifery (post-registration)

Post-registration courses for midwives

The post-registration courses for midwives provide a stepping stone from diploma level to first degree level or from first degree level to Master’s degree level.

Undergraduate courses

Postgraduate courses


Today’s midwives face challenges not only in the delivery of babies but in the caring of women and their families during pregnancy, birth and early post-natal stages.

With many public health issues arising daily, such as the rising rate of caesarean procedures, midwives and maternity care have been placed at the forefront of women’s health. If you are a qualified midwife looking to extend your educational qualifications and enhance your skills, to improve the well-being of mothers and babies, you can choose from a wide range of courses from stand-alone modules to Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees.

Whatever post-registration course you choose it will challenge you academically and provide you with a solid foundation in evidence-based practice. The key benefit of the post-registration courses is that you can still develop your skills and knowledge while continuing to work and earn.

Who are they for?

We have designed post-registration nursing courses both for those who have studied at diploma level or who haven't studied at all for some time. They are suitable for qualified midwives who have a UK NMC registration and are currently working in a clinical practice.

Careers opportunities

The post-registration courses in Midwifery meet the on-going professional development needs of qualified midwives, incorporating a range of theoretical and practical knowledge and skills in line with the changing needs of contemporary midwifery practice.

They help midwives with giving them skills for enhanced or new roles such as the ability to do initial examinations in newborns, the ability to practice in family planning clinics and other.
