Academic Welcome Details

On the Luton campus

Dear Students,

A heartfelt welcome to each of you as you begin your journey into the incredible world of midwifery. We are thrilled to have you join our community of passionate learners, dedicated professionals, and supportive educators.

Midwifery is more than a career—it’s a calling rooted in compassion, advocacy, and empowerment. Over the coming years, you will gain the knowledge, skills, and confidence to support women, families, and communities through some of life’s most transformative moments.

As you embark on this path, know that you are not alone. Our team is here to guide, challenge, and inspire you every step of the way. You’ll learn from experienced midwives, engage in hands-on practice, and grow both personally and professionally. We encourage you to be curious, ask questions, support one another, and embrace every opportunity to learn. The journey ahead will be demanding, but it will also be deeply rewarding.

Welcome to the start of something truly special. We can’t wait to see the midwives you will become.

Warmest wishes,
Kate Washington
Senior Lecturer in Midwifery
