Undergraduate Credit Return to Midwifery Practice

• Midwifery is an exciting and developing profession that you will have previously enjoyed, and this course will provide a broad-based update on essential subjects/ topic areas that will allow you to continue your career in midwifery.

• If you have been previously registered as a midwife with the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) or previously the United Kingdom Central Council (UKCC), this course will enable you to re-register and return to midwifery practice.

• Whether you have been out of practice for a long period of time, or have had a career break, you are welcome to apply for this course. There is no upper age limit. 

Applicants must have a Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) Personal Identification Number (even though your registration has lapsed).

Applicants must be resident within the United Kingdom.

Applicants originally from countries where English is not the first language must provide evidence of the International English Language Test (IELTS) in accordance with current NMC thresholds.

Applicants will require GCSE grade C/4+ in Maths and English (or equivalent qualifications). Please note that we do not accept GCSE short courses.

Applicants meeting the entry requirements may be shortlisted for a values-based interview and will be subsequently required to meet a Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) Check and Occupational Health requirements. Please note, having a criminal record does not necessarily prevent you from returning to midwifery.

Applicants who have accepted a conditional offer made by the University of Wolverhampton you will receive correspondence asking you to complete an enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check. The charge for this will be a DBS fee of £44.00 and a £6.00 ID check service fee. Applicants will also need to complete an occupational health assessment questionnaire and General Practitioner form prior to starting the course; vaccinations will also need to be up-to-date.

Applicants will need to demonstrate that on entry to the programme they have capability for digital and technological literacy to meet course outcomes. Evidence of digital literacy and technological literacy capability will therefore be aligned to the online application process and are an integral part of the courses.

Applicants will also be required to provide a satisfactory personal statement and reference (academic or employer). Within the personal statement applicants should identify the date they qualified as a midwife, the date they last worked as a midwife and the date that their registration lapsed.
