Ulster University

Great experience at Ulster. I would recommend it to any potential student. The Careers team really helped me secure placement and a graduate job. I would also suggest joining a sports team or society to make new friends.

University of Exeter

I have had an amazing first year at Exeter. The amount of careers help and the quality of the support, campus and teaching is incredible. I settled in so quickly and believe it was because of all the support that was available to me. The number and range of societies was almost overwhelming but so great! It’s allowed me to find new interests and connect with new people.

University of East London (UEL)

I studied Social work and enjoyed my course. The University of East London is  known as a vocational university, meaning that they provide plenty of opportunities for students to gain practical work experience as well as study.  They also run graduate and job opportunity fairs through the year. There are also many societies that the university offers, and the sports facilities are outstanding. There is a free bus service between the two campus. WiFi and I.T were excellent. It was an amazing opportunity to meet people from so many different parts of the world. A very enriching experience.
