Details

As a midwife, you accompany, advise and care for women during the life phases of family planning, pregnancy, childbirth, postpartum period, breastfeeding, up to the child’s first year of life. Here you are a specialist in physiology and promote the health of women and their families. The healthcare provision for women and their families is now subject to high demands and therefore requires a scientifically based and reflective midwifery practice.

In the dual Bachelor’s degree programme in Midwifery, you acquire the necessary professional, personal and methodological competences over 7 semesters. Through evidence-based findings and at the same time learning practical skills of primary midwifery practice, you will be prepared for the complex demands of the profession in order to act as a midwife in a scientifically sound and responsible manner.

With the completion of the dual Bachelor’s degree programme, you obtain a state licence to use the professional title of midwife as well as the internationally recognised degree Bachelor of Science.
