Midwifery: Entering life

Midwives are involved in all aspects of maternity care, such as pregnancy, birth and child-bed offering support to mothers in a period of profound change. The focus of a midwife’s work is to look after and, ideally, to strengthen the health of mother and baby.

The midwifery course at hsg leads to a Bachelor of Science degree and is characterized by sound theoretical training closely linked to practical teaching. Vocational training as a female or male midwife is an integral part of the course and ends with a state examination after six semesters. Work placements are offered both in the clinical and in the extraclinical fields whereas theoretical and specialist training take place at the University.

Here you find the brochure of the midwifery degree Programme and a poster about "New ways of midwifery education in Germany"
