Meet Public Services student Elizabeth! She is in her third year here at UCW; we caught up with her to see how she got on.
Elizabeth said that UCW has helped her to focus in a number of areas. “There are a lot of areas within UCW itself to help with research and extra information, having an online library as well as a physical library is amazing, it can be reached from anywhere!” Being in third year, there is a lot of independent work to do, but UCW is still there to help with work and help perfect routines if it is needed. Elizabeth said: “It’s helped me understand knowing that you can ask for help no matter the silly question!”
Elizabeth also praised the dedication of UCW’s lecturers, describing them as “amazing” and “genuinely some of the best” she has encountered.
