hi there, if you ring 0845 60 60 655 that is the NHS Careers help line and if you state that you want to become a midwife they will send you out an application pack that states all the information you need and what University's that offer that as a degree.  If you do not have "A" Levels then you need to enrole at a local college to do an "A" Level or an Access course which will both get you in to university.

Most midwiwives used to be nurses who decided to qualify in midwifery.  It takes a lot longer if you start from scratch.
