“The experience I have gained on my degree has opened up many opportunities for me, such as undertaking a placement with a local hostel in a support role. The modules on the degree are specifically chosen to prepare you for a career in the social care, welfare or housing sector, and they really aligned to my interests in both health and housing. The flexibility of the degree also enabled me to balance studying around my busy work life too.” “At first, I was really apprehensive about getting back into studying, however, being part of a group of Trainee Teachers made me feel at ease and we shared ideas and best practice to develop our personal skills further. During my qualification, the support that I received from the tutors developed my confidence as a Teacher and enabled me to plan, prepare and deliver sessions that stretch and challenge my students.” “The local nature of the degree was a great appeal as I was looking to live at home whilst studying. It was great to have an incredible game art degree on my doorstep. During my degree, I was able to undertake an internship with a cutting-edge games developer, working alongside professionals on live briefs for clients. I now feel ready to take my first step in the industry, making a career out of something that I love.” Degrees that Lead to Careers Sarah Marie Certificate in Education (Education and Training) Ryan BA (Hons) Game Art BA (Hons) Social Policy, Health and Housing (Top-up) At University Centre St Helens, we are proud of our students and all of their achievements.
