Nursing offer but want to swap to midwifery

Hello. I have accepted an offer for adult nursing for Sep 2026 at Chester. However, I gave birth in September 2025 and it’s completely changed my perspective. I really want to do midwifery. I have emailed to see if there’s anything they can do.
How likely is it that I can swap my offer?

Speaking to the university asap and see what they say about it but remember that you might not get into midwifery still so be cautious. They have limited numbers of midwifery intake each year.
Don't make a bad decision based on your own recent birth okay as you might think later that you should have done adult nursing as more choices and career progression in adult nursing than midwifery.
At worst just take the adult nursing course as you can still work on the maternity unit as a qualified adult nurse.

Thank you! I’ve felt really strongly about midwifery even before birth, I’ve emailed the university for advice/options and to see what they say. Appreciate the response!

Hi, I am studying midwifery in September. From my experience it is very competitive with limited spaces in comparison to adult nursing. I'm not an expert however, I imagine just swapping courses is difficult xx

Thank you everyone. I spoke to the university and I have a selection day next week! X

Well done you for talking to your university about it and see what happens when you attend the selection day next week okay xx
Let know how you do with it x

Thank you! I will do. Really hopeful they were very helpful and positive xx

Aww you are welcome 🤗 🤗 🤗
I'll look forward to hearing from you about things ☺️
At least they were helpful enough to you and now it's up to you to do your part in getting a offer of swapping over to midwifery instead of adult nursing. Xxx

I had my selection day yesterday and officially received an offer today!! So made up xx
