What did you do before coming to the UCY?
All sorts of jobs but my last employment was as a Special Needs Teaching Assistant, working with children aged 5-11 yrs.

What do you do now?
I work two days a week as an Accounts Assistant (pays the bills!!), busy Mum to an exuberant 11 year old daughter and study like mad into the wee small hours!!

What do you most like about your course?
The UCY is a friendly and welcoming place to study. The learning environment is relaxed and informal allowing for easy relationships between students and lecturers. The facilities are good, especially the café – hot chocolates and toasties! – but the top point has to be that everyone is there to help you and ensure you achieve your best.

The course is extremely interesting and covers a huge span. It has certainly widened my horizons and enhanced my power of thinking! The lecturers have great personalities and offer so much of their energies into their subjects.


What have you found most challenging during your course?
The work load involves a lot of reading

What would you say to potential students?
An amazing opportunity, on your doorstep, that will challenge and fulfil you both socially and academically
