BSc (Ordinary) Health Studies (Women's Health)

Overview

ALTERNATIVE PATHWAY FOR STUDENTS NOT COMPLETING THIRD UNIVERSITY EXAMINATION IN MIDWIFERY

The BSc Health Studies (Women's Health), NFQ Level 7, is an alternative ordinary bachelor's degree pathway for students who do not satisfy the pass standard for the placement module Part B (NU3069) in the BSc (Hons) Midwifery programme. Students who do not pass the Part B practice module for Year 2 of the BSc (Hons) Midwifery on the first and repeat attempts as per module descriptor will re-register for the non-clinical BSc in Health Studies (Women's Health). This pathway does not confer eligibility to practice as a Registered Midwife.

To complete the BSc Health Studies (Women's Health), a student must pass all Part A modules for the third-year BSc Midwifery Examinations and achieve a pass in the Part B independent study module NU3084 (10 credits). Students who complete the Part B study module are required to exit the programme with a BSc Health Studies (Women's Health) award.
