How do we support the physiological transition of birth while ensuring safety and dignity for women and their families? Midwifery is a high-stakes, deeply human profession that balances clinical precision with emotional intelligence. This programme at Queen’s University Belfast places students at the heart of maternity care, preparing them to practice as Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) registered midwives who are both compassionate and technically adept.

The curriculum is uniquely grounded in the KN Cheung SK Chin InterSim Centre, a state-of-the-art simulation suite where students rehearse obstetric emergencies and complex care scenarios in a controlled environment. This methodology ensures that when you step into real-world clinical placements—which comprise 50% of your total education—you bring with you the confidence of a practitioner who has already navigated lifelike challenges.

Integrated Clinical Excellence

• Interprofessional Learning: You will not study in isolation; our programme embeds interdisciplinary training, having midwifery students collaborate with medical and nursing cohorts to mirror the reality of modern hospital teams.
• Personalized Mentorship: Benefit from a highly-regarded personal tutor system, recognized for providing exceptional student experiences, ensuring you have guidance throughout your academic and placement journey.
• Research-Led Teaching: Learn directly from experts in midwifery education, clinicians, and active researchers who bridge the gap between empirical evidence and bedside practice.

This is a three-year, full-time commitment that demands resilience, as students are expected to work clinical shift patterns, including nights, weekends, and holidays, to experience the full spectrum of maternity care delivery.
