At the heart of this programme is the opportunity to manage a real-world caseload, where you are allocated a small group of expectant mothers to support throughout their journey, including being on call for the birth. This hands-on experience is central to the course's 50/50 split between theoretical study and clinical placement, ensuring that you graduate not just with academic knowledge, but with the practical confidence required for professional practice.

Students benefit from cutting-edge training technologies, including Oxford Medical Simulation virtual reality software, which allows for the exploration of complex clinical scenarios in a safe, controlled environment. The curriculum is deeply rooted in interprofessional education; you will learn alongside peers from other health and social care disciplines, fostering the collaborative mindset essential for modern, integrated healthcare teams.

Whether you are participating in the Hallam Leadership Award or engaging in elective national or international placements in your second year, the course is engineered to transform you into a compassionate, autonomous, and evidence-based practitioner ready for the complexities of contemporary midwifery.
