As a mature student with children, studying at UCP has been both rewarding and practical. The course delivery, with lectures scheduled together over just two days, allowed me to also take a part-time job in the sector I am studying, gaining valuable experience meaning I could be ready to go in my new career upon graduation. I have met like minded students with children who offer incredible peer support and the extensive online resources that are available made it easy to study from home at any time, around my family commitments. The flexibility of support from my lecturers both in person and virtually meant I could receive feedback and assistance with assignments without always having to be on site. These approaches enabled me to balance my studies, work, and family life effectively, enabling me to gain a degree as a working parent, which initially I thought would not be possible

The course was engaging and relevant to the sector I wanted to work within.

Studying at UCP has been exactly what I needed. The small class sizes and the fixed two-day timetable have allowed me to work in the industry while pursuing my degree. The support I received from my lecturers was exceptional; you really get to know them, and they have the capacity to support your learning journey. The smaller class sizes meant that our learning could be tailored to our individual needs. I have had an excellent three years at this university and am immensely grateful for the opportunity to study while working.

Your lecturers are always available to assist you. I met with my tutor twice a week and could book additional meetings whenever necessary. My lecturers were incredibly knowledgeable about their subjects, as most of them had worked in the industry before deciding to teach. As a result, I secured a job immediately after university. Many of the modules in my course are geared towards employment, preparing you thoroughly for the professional world. Additionally, the work placement module provided valuable work experience, further enhancing my employability.
