About the Program

The midwifery profession provides a unique insight into the creation of life and family, combining psychological and medical disciplines in a unique and extraordinary way. Midwives work in the exciting and special fields of pregnancy, childbirth, puerperium, and family work. Students in the program acquire the competencies to independently and comprehensively advise and care for women during pregnancy, childbirth, puerperium, and breastfeeding. Graduates gain the ability to independently manage physiological births and to examine, care for, and monitor newborns and infants. Students also learn to understand and apply research areas of midwifery science, transfer them to professional practice, and develop interdisciplinary fields of action. Scientific findings should be considered in their different systemic contexts in midwifery-specific care and developed further in perspective.
