Midwifery without any science related subjects

I study maths, business and politics in year 13. I previously studied biology and psychology but dropped it early in year 12 and I received a 7-6 in combined science during my Gcses. Is there any way of studying midwifery or taking an extra course to study it?

Maths is classed as a science subject by many unis and from a quick look at the entry requirements for some midwifery courses you should be able to apply with your current A levels:

https://www.keele.ac.uk/study/undergraduate/undergraduatecourses/midwifery/ - one science at A level from defined science list – maths is on this list.

Some other courses don't specify particular A levels - if there are no 'required' subjects, then most A levels are fine. If you are in any doubt when you look at the Entry requirements section on a course page, then email the admissions department to check.
