Midwifery Science (B.Sc.), dual

Would you like to support women and families during one of the most significant phases of their lives?

Our dual bachelor’s degree program in Midwifery Science will turn you into an expert in pregnancy, childbirth, the postpartum period, and breastfeeding! In our modern skills and simulation laboratory, you will put your theoretical knowledge into practice, training through realistic, birth-related simulations. Thanks to our partnerships with regional clinical placement sites and our experienced faculty – all of whom are qualified midwives themselves – you will be exceptionally well-prepared for this unique profession. Beyond technical expertise, the program also fosters your personal development, strengthening essential soft skills such as empathy, a sense of responsibility, teamwork, and a professional approach when working with women and families. In this dual study program, you earn two qualifications: a Bachelor of Science degree and state certification as a midwife. As part of the dual program, you receive compensation from the clinical placement site where you complete your practical training.

As a midwife, you will play an active role in shaping the future of maternity care, supporting women and their families through these vital life stages, and holding an important position within the healthcare system.
