Why Study Midwifery Studies BSc(Hons) at University of Huddersfield?
We've ranked 6th in the UK (Top in Yorkshire) for Midwifery, in the Guardian League Tables 2025.

The University of Huddersfield is one of only four universities – and the only one in the north of England – that offer two intakes each year onto a Midwifery BSc(Hons) course. Working closely with the NHS workforce planning teams to help meet their recruitment demands, two course intakes results in qualified midwives graduating in both the spring and autumn months. Choosing when to begin your Midwifery degree will depend on your individual circumstances; you must state which Midwifery Studies intake you’d like to be part of on your UCAS form.

In terms of course content, placements, and available support, everything remains the same, regardless of when you choose to study with us. Approximately 60 places are available for students starting in September, and approximately 40 for those who’d like to start in March. If, for example, you prefer to be part of a large group, you may prefer to start in September.
