What we offer
We offer a variety of innovative programmes at a range of levels for prospective students to choose from that reflect contemporary healthcare challenges and priorities. We offer the following postgraduate and post-experience programmes:

Practical experience
Teaching on the MSc Midwifery with Registration programme is 50% work-based learning, you’ll be able to put the theory you learn in the classroom into practice in real-life clinical environments. Placement opportunities will be available with NHS Greater Glasgow & Clyde, NHS Lanarkshire, NHS Highland, NHS Dumfries & Galloway, and NHS Ayrshire & Arran.
Most of our other postgraduate and post-experience courses above are studied in conjunction with your own current practice roles, to enable you to apply your learning to your own job or progress your career into other areas.

Funded study for NHS staff
We have Service Level Agreements (SLAs) with NHS Ayrshire and Arran, NHS Lanarkshire, NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde, Argyll Division of NHS Highland and a contract with NHS Dumfries and Galloway.
These arrangements enable staff to access top-up undergraduate, post-experience and postgraduate programmes that are developed on a collaborative basis and are professionally relevant to their sphere of work. Local processes are in operation and students should contact their Practice Development Units or appropriate NHS Board for up-to-date information.

Modular study options
Many of the modules offered at postgraduate level can be undertaken on a standalone basis, or as part of a programme of study. Modules are all credit bearing, allowing you to build towards a named degree pathway. In addition, we offer a wide range of short courses, study days and in-service programmes across our campuses, designed for professionals looking to build on their current practice.

The MSc (Midwifery) programme has shown me that I can reach my greatest potential, and the staff showed me amazing support when I doubted myself. The small, MSc specific tutorials really brought us together as a group and I would definitely recommend the degree to any postgraduates that are keen to pursue midwifery.

It has been a long time since I have studied academically, and your team have made this journey an absolute pleasure. The support available is amazing! I am excited to start my second year at MSc level with UWS.
