    How to start a Midwifery degree? (help me out guys!)
    Hi guys, I'm a little confused here. I know nothing about university or Midwifery, but I'm trying to become informed to help my Girlfriend out.

    My friend started Uni as a mature student. He had hardly any qualifcations (a few low grade GCSE's) and he had no trouble joining Manchester Met on a Hospitality Managment degree. It's my impression that because he didn't have the qualifcations, he had to do an additional entry year prior to starting his course before then going on to start his course.

    Is this the case for most courses?

    My Girlfriend is wanting to start a Midwifery degree as a mature student but has heard that it's a lot more complicated than this. She was going on about needing work experience, new GCSE's, etc etc..

    Is it as simple as what my friend did? Can this apply to my Girlfriend for her course? Can't she just do an entry year before going onto the course?

    Please enlighten me guys, appreciate any help!

    Sounds like your friend did an Access to higher education course.
