A career in midwifery brings with it unique rewards, allowing you to support families during some of the most important moments of their lives.
Here at ARU we've been training midwives for more than 25 years. As well as our BSc (Hons) Midwifery degree, we offer a Masters qualification and CPD courses. We also conduct research and offer free drop-in services to parents. Read more about midwifery at ARU, and hear from our student midwives, below.
