The term midwifery means 'with woman', so if you are interested in an exciting career based on unique skills in the care for women and their babies then midwifery is for you. This exciting four-year General Nursing degree programme prepares you to meet the healthcare needs of adults and their families in the 21st century.
Approximately half the programme is delivered in the Health Sciences Centre, Belfield. Here you will benefit from interacting with other healthcare students, having access to top-of-the-range lecture facilities, library, information and computing resources, skills laboratories and student resource rooms. Lectures draw upon knowledge from the biological, sociological, behavioural and nursing sciences. Emphasis is placed on developing your critical thinking abilities and learning through the process of self-reflection. The other half of the programme comprises hands-on, practice based clinical placements spread throughout the four years. Most hospital-based clinical placements (including a nine-month paid placement in Stage 4) will be spent in one of our partner hospitals: St Vincent’s University Hospital, Mater Misericordiae University Hospital, and St Michael’s Hospital. |
