The Bachelor of Midwifery Science course is an internationally recognised four-year degree programme during which students learn the art and science of midwifery.

The University of Galway provides this programme in partnership with the Saolta University Health Care Group. The programme consists of theoretical and clinical modules. The theoretical content aims to provide students with the knowledge necessary to underpin their professional practice. The teaching and learning strategies include lectures, seminars, workshops, experiential learning, clinical skills education and simulation in our state-of-the-art clinical skills and simulation suite.

Clinical modules are undertaken in the practice setting where students get a broad range of clinical experience in four different clinical placement sites aligned to maternity services across the Saolta University Health Care Group: University Hospital Galway, Mayo University Hospital, Portiuncula University Hospital and Sligo University Hospital. Additionally, students will attend placements in various community settings.
