Midwifery for exchange students

In our midwifery education programme, we train our students to become critical, competent midwives who are socially engaged. Our students learn to take an advocacy role for the mother, the newborn, their family and their surrounding network by offering quality and personalised care. Within an international and evidence-based mindset, we prepare our future midwives for the profession in a complex reality.

The focus of the programme is promoting physiology, woman-centred care and developing a correct professional identity within a dynamic, metropolitan and international context.

Midwifery in an International and Intercultural Context

This traineeship offers opportunities in various areas, including delivery and maternity wards, intensive neonatal care, fertility treatment services, and high-risk pregnancy care.

Most of our internship locations are in Brussels, where the diversity of care services and the needs of our target population require a meticulous and highly person-centred approach.

Prior hands-on experience (at least 12 weeks in delivery and maternity wards) in your home country is essential.

English is the primary (international) language of communication, but knowledge of French is a valuable asset that can enhance your chances of securing an exciting internship.
