«It is a privilege to support women during childbirth»

The miracle of birth never ceases to fascinate me. It is a privilege to be able to support women in this process. My best friend's mum told me about the midwifery profession. It sounded so cool, I wanted to experience it too.

After my A-levels, I applied to study medicine, but even then I said: when I have children of my own, I'll become a midwife. Then I realised that I didn't want to wait that long.

Thanks to the Gymi, I know how to learn most efficiently.

The degree programme consists mainly of lectures and practical exercises, so-called «skills units». These are the highlight of the week. Around half of the students have already learnt a medical profession. But I don't feel disadvantaged.

My advantage: thanks to the Gymi, I know how to learn most efficiently. My studies include several months of work experience in a labour ward or postnatal unit. This confirms every time: midwifery is my dream job!
