Overview

The Midwifery course from the University of West London will allow you time to explore the questions you want to ask that are relevant to your service, to your mums and babies.

At the College of Nursing, Midwifery and Healthcare we have a wide range of expertise in research and the education of nurses. We have formed local, national and international multi-professional collaborative research and teaching networks with a variety of agencies, institutions, professional organisations and healthcare providers.

Career opportunities:

As a PhD graduate in Midwifery, you will have a number of pathways you can pursue in your postdoctoral career. A number of new graduates choose to continue with their research and apply for postdoctoral research positions.
