Changing course

I applied to study children’s nursing in September. I was torn between this and midwifery. I’ve been accepted to study children’s nursing coke September. However since the pregnancy and birth of my first child I’ve changed my mind and now really have the desire to study midwifery. What do people think the chances are of them letting me swap courses ? I have wrote a strong email explaining all my points and reasons as to why I want to change. Thanks!

Hello @mega2906

I hope you're well. As long as you meet the entry requirements to be able to study midwifery and they have enough space on this course for September 2023 I don't see why not as child nursing is a healthcare course as well, so there will be some similarities! As long as you are able to show that you know they key differences in the roles and responsibilities for a midwife and a children's nurse it should hopefully be fine!

Best of luck!

Thank you for your response ! I’ve been communicating with the university today via email ,
hopefully I’ve got an interview for midwifery , they are just clarifying with the head of department. Although there is several other applicants on the waiting list. Any tips / ideas of how I can make myself really stand out? And would I be automatically put at the bottom of the list even if my interview goes really well?
