	Description The BSc (Hons) Midwifery aims to promote a woman–centered approach to care which encourages partnership between midwives, women and their families and empowers midwives to effect and sustain change within their professional culture. It also aims to develop midwives who meet local and European standards for Midwifery and are eligible to register with relevant professional bodies. Midwifery is an evolving profession whose continuous development demands up to date scientific knowledge and clinical competence. It also necessitates continuous growth in research work arising from midwifery and contributing disciplines (medicine, psychology, medical sciences, etc.). The changing demands of the profession stemming from changing women’s attitudes, new approaches to health care and new advances in technology require the provision of high quality education for midwives. Thus, a comprehensive course in Midwifery should aim to present current developments in theory and clinical practice, promote an interdisciplinary approach to health care where the woman is at the centre of all the decision-making, and support a critical approach to learning and practicing.

Student / Alumni Testimonials

Evi Panagidou, BSc (Hons) Occupational Therapy student

The programme constituted an enriching experience which has given me the opportunity to acquire theoretical and practical knowledge through lectures, seminars, presentations, tutorials, debates, group works, and practice placements. All these are provided in a supportive environment by enthusiastic and qualified lecturers, who use clinical examples that will prove useful later on, at the workplace. A variety of placement settings have helped put into practice what I learnt in the classroom. The staff is excellent and particularly supportive as they encourage the development of skills and knowledge and ensure we reach our full potential.

Nikolas Mantikas, BSc (Hons) Dietetics student

As a graduate of the BSc (Hons) Dietetics, I can say that the programme gave me the opportunity to gain theoretical and practical knowledge that covers all clinical cases of the science of Dietetics. The interactive relationship between teachers and students was particularly important, while the course content was excellent; I am confident that this study programme gave me the necessary skills to face the challenges that will arise during my professional career. The programme also provided me with the opportunity to meet excellent and highly qualified academics who are experts in their field. Throughout the years, they strived to transmit their knowledge and support students whenever needed. I would recommend the BSc in Dietetics to everyone looking for a high-quality academic programme.

Marios Nikolopoulos, BSc (Hons) Occupational Therapy student

My experience so far from the Occupational Therapy programme I am attending has been exceptional. The programme is well organised, the quality standards are high and the modules are very interesting. The academic members of staff are very supportive and teach us how to work consistently following the British model. The importance placed on hands-on experience is particularly important as it helps us put into practice the theoretical knowledge we acquired from teaching.
