Post-RM Bachelor of Science in Midwifery​​

AKU’s School of Nursing and Midwifery (SONAM) was the first in Pakistan to offer this unique midwifery programme that started in 2013.

Our Post-RM Bachelor of Science in Midwifery (Post-RM BScM) programme, prepares students to provide essential care, advice and support to women during pregnancy, childbirth and the early newborn care stages.

As part of the programme, you will get an opportunity to collaborate and work with other healthcare providers that will prepare you to deliver holistic care to women and their families at all levels of the healthcare system. ​This means that you will be applying your knowledge and skills in midwifery practice throughout the perinatal period while you study.  

It is an extremely flexible programme as it allows you to enrol as full-time, part-time or work-based students, enabling you to study alongside your existing work commitments. ​
