hi appletree i have a degree in forensic science and ive rang admissions for about 6 unis and it shows that you can study at that level so they do accept it, you can get funding as its from the nhs, i rang nhs student finance about this, the midwifery degree has nothing to do with the normal student finance that u would have got with your history degree, Nottingham, northumberland and teeside prefered students with no degree as it looks like you have just changed your mind and dont really know what u want 2 do, sheffield hallam and northampton were really good about it and saw it as a positive thing!!! where are u applying to? sarah x
