About Midwifery, BMid (Hons) - at Swansea University

Gain the skills and experience to launch a rewarding and valued career as a midwife with our prestigious, internationally recognised Midwifery degree course.

You will develop the clinical and interpersonal expertise to ensure a woman’s physical and emotional well-being during pregnancy, childbirth and early parenthood. You will also learn to analyse, evaluate, and critique research studies to support reflective and evidence-based study and practice.

Half of your teaching takes place in the university and the other half in practice placements, working with midwives in community-based teams, midwifery-led birth centres and hospital maternity units. 

We have excellent links with Welsh health boards, so you will have access to a wide range of placement settings across south west Wales, with the nearest maternity hospital right next door to our Singleton Park campus on the edge of the beautiful Gower Peninsula.
