Midwives care for, advise and nurse women before, during and in the period shortly after giving birth and their newborn children and babies. They monitor the progress of the pregnancy, the foetus in the womb with the appropriate clinical and technical resources.

They educate on necessary examinations and advise in questions of care, nutrition and hygiene. They learn to recognise psychosocial changes and signs of irregularities with the mother and with the child and are prepared to administer medical and psychological assistance also in emergencies.

With your degree course you will obtain a scientifically-based, clinical-practical midwifery training, which will also prepare you for your future function in preventive health education and consultation in the community. You will use your acquired theoretical knowledge during internships. Apart from your medical interest, a high level of empathy, as well as resilience and a talent for coordination are demanded for duties and responsibilities during your studies and in your job.
