Midwifery

if I have to resist my GCSEs will it affect me being able to do midwifery?

No

Just make sure you get the required university entry requirements for midwifery and then do your best to get through the interview process as it's very highly competitive degree with limited amount of places available at every university in the UK.


Alternatively you should do something like children nursing or adult nursing rather doing no nursing course.

ok thank you so much I’ve just left year 11 and I’m already looking at person statements to get into uni because I know how competitive it is.

You are welcome 🤗🤗

Yes your personal statement will have to be very good to give yourself a good chance of getting a interview and then hopefully onto university X
Midwifery is the hardest course to get into as you already know.

i never knew it was hard to get into midwifery,
im at risk of retaking yr12 due to me failing chemistry, when i repeat im going to be taking bio psychology and sociology, would this reduce my chances of getting in? what if i get something like A*AB ? when the entry requirements r ABB

Hi madina

Midwifery is very highly competitive to get into because of the very limited numbers of students that universities take in each year. Training is very difficult but if you are successful in getting a place at university then your hard work over the 3 years of the degree will be worth it.

Majority of universities will ask for Biology as the science subject.

Others will only ask for a science subject ( which could be chemistry or biology).

You should perhaps look at all of your chosen universities to see what there entry requirements are for midwifery degree courses. You have nothing to lose if you apply as you will need to give a brilliant personal statement and if you get a interview then make sure that you do well with it.


This is generally the minimum requirement...
What qualifications do you need to study midwifery in the UK.......
You'll usually need:



Hope this helps you 😊😊😊
Good luck with your application ☺️
