Reflecting on her decision, Luthfa shares, "Midwifery was something that I chose for myself, it was something I really wanted to do." Her passion ignited four years ago, and despite exploring options in her home countries, the course wasn't available. Undeterred, Luthfa applied to Oxford Brookes: “The interview was really smooth, they were very welcoming, and I was the only international student that had an interview that day," she recalls.
Midwifery isn't just a career choice for Luthfa; it's a calling. The practical exposure during placements is deeply rewarding, knowing she's making a tangible impact. "All the practical exposure that I'm getting during placement is really rewarding to see that you're doing something that's actually making a change, helping someone, so when I go to sleep at night, I feel content and worthy of what I'm doing on a daily basis."
