No / Midwifery programmes attract a large number of applications with an ever increasing demand for the small number of places available. Higher Education Institutions (HEI) are concerned with attracting students who have the right attributes for a career in midwifery and who are likely to succeed on the programme. Potential students however are concerned with making the right choice of HEI where they will be comfortable spending three years working towards attaining a degree in midwifery.
The University of Bradford has sought an innovative approach to the selection of students. The programme is predominantly taught through problem based learning, which enables the development of a range of skills that will benefit them in professional practice. Personal attributes required for this process can be identified at an early stage therefore a system has been introduced whereby prospective students are selected purely through the utilization of the problem based learning process.
