What students say about counselling

The University has lots of resources and study spaces. I love the fact that I can borrow a laptop for 24hours. There is a lot of student support in terms of CV writing and also academic support via mentors.

What students say about counselling

As a UCP alumni and now studying elsewhere I can compare small and large institutions and a small university such as UCP has much to offer over larger universities. Having people know who you are outside of your course, having support from teaching and support services without complicated processes, learning over your set days allows you to plan around this time so other commitments can fit. The course material is aimed at what the industry is looking for with practical applications alongside theoretical study giving you options for employment or further study. The staff not only support but work to create independent study and research skills. I enjoyed the sites and its facilities for being compact and easy to get around.

What students say about counselling

Aberystwyth is a great University for Computer Science. I was a career changer with no experience coding before coming here and the course taught me everything I needed to gain a placement with a AAA game studio. I wanted to write this review because I remember looking for Universitys when applying and wondering if Aber is good. I saw a review saying that the course didn't prepare them for the Industry at all. I strongly disagree. As someone who didn't come from an ICT background and didn't code at all before, I can tell you you will learn everything you need. Just go to your practicles! Truth is because it's Computer Science attendence is low, and students who don't do the un-assesed practices and coursework will have a hard time. If you want to go to a Uni though where lecturers care about you, take the time to talk to you and are invested in your success it's a great choice. Aberystwyth also has good ties to the industry and goes out of its' way to get students career ready. If you want to know where students end up just look up the Uni on linkedIn. Aberystwyth has gotten rewards for its' teaching repeatedly, and rightfully so. Yes, it's not a Russel Group University and prestige is not on the same level, but if you're engaged and want to learn the skills and have great lecturers and an active student life (because there is really nothing else to distract you from your studies in Aberystwyth) it's a great choice.

What students say about counselling

I studied Fashion and Photography at Carmarthen School of Art (Coleg Sir Gâr), and both courses were fantastic. There’s easy access to all the equipment you might need, and the support from tutors is incredible. They constantly push you to go deeper with your ideas and achieve the best possible results in your projects.

What students say about counselling

I really wanted to study Health and Social Care further to enable me to have in depth knowledge and be prepared to potentially study a nursing degree. One major problem I was facing was not wanting to leave home just yet UCNL providing me that very option. The staff within Uni are supportive and friendly and accommodating. They always try and push you to reach your full potential.

What students say about counselling

I can honestly say apart from having to my lifestyle to incorporate study in amongst work and family life i have had no negative experiences. The support from the tutors on this course has been above and beyond and the resources they provided for optimal learning have been amazing. If extra support is needed they are only just an email or a teams meeting away and if they cant help you will be sign posted in the right direction. I feel for not considering myself to be an academic person i have excelled in this course but this was only due to the support provided.

Studying counselling

Studying counselling at uni will open doors to a career in a ‘helping profession’, as you’ll learn and practice counselling skills and techniques and develop your ability to critically analyse and apply theory to personal experiences and circumstances. Counselling is often studied alongside other disciplines like therapy, psychology and mentoring, and courses cover topics including mental health and wellbeing, counselling perspectives and therapeutic skills. Many counselling courses also include practical experiences and work placements, giving you the chance to work with real patients and put your knowledge into practice. This broad and multi-disciplinary subject area will help prepare you for a career in numerous job roles, such as teaching, counselling, nursing, social work and youth work. You may need to go into postgraduate study before getting employment in some of these roles.
