Deciding on a university to study Midwifery

I’m in year 13 and I am deciding on universities to apply to for midwifery and just wanted to know more about these schools and the student experience from any students that are doing midwifery or similar courses at uni (I also don’t mind hearing from students that do completely different subjects). There’s only so much google can provide so it would be great if anyone could give advice. My predicted grades are ABB
Here are the universities I am think about applying too:
King’s College London
Kingston University
City, University of London
University of Manchester
University of Nottingham

Have you been to any open days?

Hi @mz_lore
It's great to hear that you are considering Kingston!
I study Fashion Promotion and Communication here at Kingston, however I do have a friend here who studies midwifery and seems to really enjoy it
There are lots of placement opportunities which I think is great. The course is split into lecture weeks and then 16 weeks of placement spread across the terms. The number of placement weeks does increase each year.
On the weeks that she has lectures the timetable for first year look a bit like this:
Monday - Online
Tuesday - 10-4
Wednesday - Online
Thursday - 10-4
Friday - 10-4
For placement weeks there's usually 3-4 shifts consisting of 10-12.5 hours.
You will be based at Kingston Hill campus which is a lovely campus surrounded by nature and just a short 10-minute bus journey from Kingston town centre, which you can get for free using the Kingston university bus.
There is lots to do in Kingston, I have a few posts I'll link that go in to more depth and so might interest you

I would really recommend coming and seeing it for yourself at an open day. Our upcoming open days can be found here Open Days - Undergraduate - Kingston University London this gives you the opportunity to get a feel of what it might be like to live and study here as well as speaking to students and staff.
I hope this is helpful and good luck in making your decision
