Here's what our students say:
“I’d started out studying
journalism but realised
my main interest was in
politics, so I decided to enrol
at UWS. The class sizes at
the University, especially in
the social sciences seminars,
mean that you get to know
people and feel comfortable
in the groups.”
Ciaran O’Grady
Social Sciences student
“Winning this award has
given me reassurance and
confidence in my ability to
work with service users effectively
and in an individual,
person-centred manner.
During my placement I
learned a great deal about
myself as an individual and
as a social worker. I’m still
developing in my role, but
this award has given me the
belief that I am heading in
the right direction.”
