BSc Midwifery

BSc Midwifery at Christian Service University College prepares you for a career caring for women and newborns. It is offered under the Faculty of Health and Applied Sciences, and entry is less competitive than at many public universities. Here is what the programme involves and where it can lead.

What a midwifery degree covers

A midwifery programme prepares you to support women through pregnancy, labour and the period after birth. You learn about antenatal care, safe delivery practices, newborn care and how to spot complications that need a doctor's help. The training also covers reproductive health, health education and counselling, so you can support families as well as mothers. Most graduates go on to work as registered midwives in hospitals, maternity homes and clinics, and many move into community health or teaching.

How hard it is to get a place

Midwifery at Christian Service University College is less competitive than at several public universities in Ghana, where demand is very high. That means your chance of admission depends more on meeting the published requirements than on competing with thousands of applicants for a few places. You still need good passes in the required subjects, so check the specific entry requirements and confirm your WASSCE grades qualify.

Where midwifery can take you

With a midwifery degree you can work in government hospitals, private clinics, maternity homes or community health centres. Some midwives specialise in areas like neonatal care or family planning, while others move into health programme management, research or training future midwives. The work is hands-on and patient-focused, and skilled midwives are needed across Ghana's health system.
