Congratulations :yay:

@De Montfort University, would you be able to provide a bit of information about how much teaching happens before placements start and roughly how the course of the year might look for Midwifery? :colondollar:

Congratulations on your offer to study midwifery at DMU!
The Block method I think is about doing theory in particular topic or chunk of related area or subject, Then doing the practical for the same subject or area, that was my understanding when I went to DMU in Midwifery talk this year as I was also an applicant for the subject.

Hey there 😁

Congratulations! Are you excited? 🤩

You’ll dive into one module at a time, with four blocks spanning 7 weeks each, excluding Enhancement Weeks - breaks from teaching that give you a chance to catch up - and holiday breaks. Typically, you’ll have around 30 hours of theoretical teaching per week, though this evolves as the course goes on, with more emphasis on self-directed learning and additional reading. The final module, and the last block, is where you’ll get hands-on with practice-based learning.

I hope it was helpful 💪 Feel free to reach out if you have any questions 😉 You can also chat with me or other students directly through The Ambassador Platform.

Take care,
