yeah I was told a similar thing about midwifery external too - they told me "less than 30 places". They have bachelor of midwifery at a uni near me and its also ridiculously competitive with only 30 places (internal, they dont do it externally). I'll be happy to get into any of the degrees I have applied for!

sent my application in yesterday on the net. Just need to photocopy and certify my certificates and then I'll send them in once I go buy some stamps!

Its all very exciting!
