Nursing and midwifery – the most popular searches for would-be students

I discovered today that, on Hotcourses.com, “nursing” and “midwifery” are the two most popular phrases punched in by people in the UK looking for university courses.

It’s in my interview with Ed, from Hotcourses.com - Nursing and Midwifery – the hottest courses in the UK!

I was surprised and pleased. I thought it might be “media” or “journalism” or “business”.

At a time when the Government is making it more expensive to be a student it’s going to get harder for nurses and midwives to pay back their loans, one would assume? Even so, people’s desire to enter the industry remains undiminished.

Of course, it’s good news for Nurses.co.uk and any other site listing nursing jobs or midwife jobs. But it’s also great news for the industry in general.

The same bunch of stats from Hotcourses.com also highlights that “social work” is the third most popular term. Again, so much to be optimistic about: midwifery, nursing, social care – three industries so important to the welfare of the country and so many people still so very keen to enter them.
