Hi. I am currently at uni studying building surveying and for the last 2 years I have wanted to change my career and course to study Midwifery! I know totally different but I am not happy what I am doing and I spend a lot of my time reading and learning about midwifery more than the actual course I am on and I want to change to midwifery as I see myself doing this as my career and enjoying the studying and placement at the same time. I was hoping next year I could apply to uni but not sure if I would meet the entry requirements as I don’t have Human biology or access to nursing or maths. I have standard grades English, French, art and P.E. and I also have an BA acting degree from years ago.
Would I have to study human Biology or access to nursing or any other course or gain any other qualifications before I would be able to meet the entry requirements for midwifery or would I have a chance of getting accepted on to the course without it? I would definitely look to study anything extra to then study midwifery. I’m looking into doing voluntary work to get experience with breast feeding and shadowing if that is possible too and get experience in anything else that would be relevant and help with study. Any advice and honest opinions would be much appreciated. Thank you!
