Hi, thought I'd start a thread for midwifery 2014 hopefuls. Applying next year. Experiences etc :smile:

(edited 10 years ago)

Applying to South Wales, Bangor, Swansea, Conventry and Teeside. Really hoping South Wales, but tbh I'll just be happy to get a place on the course somewhere :tongue:

Doing A-Levels, got my Psychology and finishing off my Biology and Chemistry now.

- Volunteered at a centre that provides holidays for physically disabled adults
- Did over 100 hours in summer with young disabled people
- Three study days; Postnatal and Antenatal Care, Breastfeeding, Public role of the Midwife
- 5 days at local hospital on non-maternity
- 5 days at women's hospital, spent one day on antenatal, three postnatal and one on MLU where I got to see a birth :biggrin:

- College ambassador of a children's hospice

First time applying, hoping it all pays off!!!

Left school back in 2011. I'm in my third year of college, I failed my first year Biology and Chemistry so had to resit that while carrying on with Psychology A2. I will be 19 if I manage to get on the course this next coming year! They do :-) Just go for them, it's your choice, not theirs! ;D My parents aren't overjoyed about the Welsh ones as they're over 5 hours away from us ahahaha

There are so many universities in England that offer midwifery. How did you pick which ones you were going to apply for xx

I narrowed them down based on realistic grades so 3 B's, I had been to open days closer to home and they were terrible. Went to South Wales and they were so welcoming and friendly, informative and the facilities were fantastic! I went up there as part of a weekend away really and thought I might as well have a look round while I'm there, never knew I would love it so much. I then looked at others in Wales being Swansea and Bangor, because I love the area so much. I then had to look into lower graded universities. I found Coventry and Teeside were the best ones out of the other back-ups I had in mind!xx
