Kayleigh Nicholls, Foundation Degree in Early Years, Playwork and Education student:

“UCP was the best place for me to study as I live locally, so it allows me to study alongside workingand raising a family. All the staff are friendly andsupportive and the classes are small compared totraditional routes which means everyone gets moresupport and guidance than in a larger university.

Many of the students here are mature students andwith them they bring lots of experience from different areas, which benefit everyone in the class.The facilities at UCP are great: the library has lots ofresources and if there’s ever anything you can’t find,the staff there are always very helpful and knowledgeable and help you find what you’re looking for”.
