About the programme
This admission interview explores your readiness to train in midwifery and support women, babies and families through varied care experiences. The panel is assessing realistic motivation, respect for consent and dignity, safe escalation and the emotional maturity to learn from demanding situations.
How to prepare
- Learn how midwives support care before, during and after birth in partnership with other health professionals.
- Prepare examples that show respectful communication, service and calm action when something changed unexpectedly.
- Review the importance of consent, confidentiality, infection prevention and working within supervision.
- Think about healthy ways to reflect, seek support and recover after emotionally demanding learning.
- Check the school and official midwifery body websites for current admission and professional requirements.
Common mistakes
- Describing midwifery only as delivering babies and overlooking care across the wider maternity journey.
- Assuming the professional should override a woman's informed choices.
- Acting beyond a student's competence instead of escalating a concern quickly.
- Claiming that difficult events would never affect you instead of explaining how you would use support.
