Hi Billie

I am pretty sure the first degree courses started around 1989- I have a feeling Derby were in the first wave. Have you tried asking the NMC?

Best wishes

Dear UK list members

I’m trying to identify the date that the first UK undergraduate midwifery degree commenced and at which university, for a history paper I’m writing

Can anyone help?

Many thanks

Billie
