I still have a photo of me moving in, like an excited fresher which is what you will be soon! That feels<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u00a0like a <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">longgg <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">time ago now!<\/span><\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s my fresher self moving in &#8211;&gt;<\/p>\n<p><b>Theory vs. Placement Blocks<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">At the University of York, midwifery is structured into theory blocks and placement blocks\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>Theory blocks<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> take place at the University (mostly west campus), usually running Monday to Friday. This is when you learn the core module content without the pressure of also being on placement. That first theory block is a great opportunity to settle in, bond with your cohort, and adjust to student life. More importantly, it&#8217;s a great time to enjoy freshers events!\u00a0<\/span>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Clinical simulation<\/strong> is used during the theory blocks to practice your clinical skills, e.g. venipuncture (blood taking) before you do it in placement!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>Placement blocks<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> come later, giving you hands-on experience in different settings such as community, antenatal, labour and postnatal wards. This is the time to use all that theory you have learned and put it into real-life practice. You\u2019ve got this!<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">During the placement blocks, you will work under the supervision of a registered midwife to guide you through the practical skills you will need to become a registered midwife!\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Worried about accommodation for second year?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In the first year, accommodation is simple\u2014just a few clicks, some preferences, and you\u2019re in halls. But sorting out housing for the second year? It can feel a bit more complicated. Don\u2019t worry, though\u2014it\u2019s not as stressful as it seems!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">There are plenty of student letting agencies in York that make the process much easier (they certainly did for me!). The key is finding the right balance\u2014don\u2019t leave it too late to start looking (the early bird gets the worm!), but at the same time, don\u2019t feel pressured to rush into it the moment you arrive. Take some time to settle in and get to know people first.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Who knows? You might end up living with your fellow student midwives in second year!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Perks of studying at York<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">One big advantage of being a midwifery student at York? <\/span><b>We get more holidays compared to other universities!<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> If that doesn\u2019t spark your interest, I\u2019m not sure what will.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">You won\u2019t have assessments during your placement time due to the theory and placement split. This makes it much easier just to focus on placement and not worry about the uni stuff!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Not all Universities do this so it&#8217;s a<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> biggg<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> plus for York.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Studying midwifery is an exciting journey and York provides you with that work life balance and support that you need! If you\u2019re considering it- go for it!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">I hope this was helpful and I wish you the best of luck on your journey to midwifery at York.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Read more about our <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/category\/study\/midwifery\/\">midwifery student experiences here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<div class=\"ap-custom-wrapper\"><\/div><!--ap-custom-wrapper-->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hi, Are you considering midwifery at the university of York?
