Qualification requirements

Please be aware that demand for LJMU's Midwifery degree is extremely high. Our recruitment quota is capped at 40 places. As we usually receive around 1,300 applications, we strongly advise you to ensure your application is carefully tailored to clearly address all of the entry and shortlisting criteria. 1. On receipt of application you will be sent an assessment by email with full instructions and a deadline for submission. 2. Applicants who successfully pass the assessment will be assessed, and their qualifications will be checked to see that they meet or are predicted to meet our entry requirements. We would expect applicants’ personal statements to demonstrate preparation for and commitment to studying this course and to becoming a Midwife. 3. Shortlisted applicants will be invited to an interview and offers will be made to successful applicants. 4. All applicants must provide a satisfactory reference with their application, failure to do so will result in a rejected application. Midwifery involves working individually and as a member of a team with an aim to provide support and education (including public health) to women/birthing persons and their families during the childbirth continuum. Applicants need to demonstrate knowledge of the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC). Above all, we want students who are committed to providing high quality evidence-based care, holistic practices and support for women/birthing persons, with a strong desire to continually develop and improve their skills as a midwife and clinical practitioner. You must demonstrate an understanding of autonomous midwifery practice, excellent communication and time management skills, the ability to work flexible shift patterns and to combine academic study with clinical practice and a strong commitment to succeed. Please note: due to the volume of applications, amendments will not be accepted once an application has been submitted. Applicants are advised to make sure each section is completed correctly prior to submission.
