Aspiring midwives in the UK must attend university to obtain a BSc in midwifery, one that is approved by the NMC (Nursing and Midwifery Council) in order to enter the job market. It is important that you check with individual universities for specific entry requirements for the relevant nursing degree courses but it is likely you will be required to have:
5 GCSE’s (A*-C grade) and 3 A Levels (or equivalent) with high grades. 2 should preferably be science subjects with biology usually classed an essential.
A degree in midwifery is 50% practical experience, working under supervision and takes places in hospitals, clinics and the community. Midwifery degrees take either 3 or 4 years. The good news is that student Midwives are funded by a non-repayable means-tested bursary and tuition fees are normally paid for you.
