Maria undertook a Summer University course and now wants to pursue further study.
I came from the US to work in Middlesbrough, and since I had some extra time on my hands I thought it would be nice to learn something new.
I came from the US to work in Middlesbrough, and since I had some extra time on my hands I thought it would be interesting to learn something new.
It was a local university and I was keen to meet people from the area so it seemed like the best option.
I chose counselling as it can be useful in most professions, plus I have an interest in psychology. I also thought some of the skills could easily transfer to my current role, making me a better listener.
It has to be the great lecturers and really friendly classmates – I particularly enjoyed the group discussions.
I found the campus really nice and modern, and the facilities were very impressive.
Without doubt – it’s given me more empathy for my colleagues, clients and vendors. It’s also encouraged me to pursue further study.
Yes, definitely. There’s some really interesting courses, it’s very accessible and friendly, the lecturers are warm and knowledgeable and the study environment is friendly and encouraging.
