Having the opportunity to attend placements in different areas has really helped my confidence with the course. It is something I have always wanted to do; helping people and overall being a people’s person have always been qualities of mine that I want to portray in my career and being a midwife is allowing me to do that, alongside build close and supportive relationships with other student midwives and registered midwives. read more

I think value for money is a controversial one for nursing as most people believe student nurses should be paid for what they’re doing instead of having to pay to do it themselves. The ‘assessing and planning for person centred care’ module I enjoy as it’s hands on and I feel I’m learning whereas other modules are less helpful and they’re just reading from powerpoints. My tutor Gayle is lovely, she does everything she can to help our group and always wants to help. read more

This is a large University with a large and good quality teaching team. The education you receive is from experts in their field. There is a nice balance between academic and practical sessions, and being in Sheffield the range of placements are wide, especially with two massive teaching hospitals next door. If anything could be improved, then the amount of time in clinical scenarios could be increased, these sessions were ones everyone looked forward to and provided you with an outlet to practice in a safe environment. Highlight of the three years has to be SMART day! read more
