A small campus experience

Our small campus is full of plants, natural light, and new facilities that will help you feel good while studying.

Vanessa

Level 4 Accounting (ATT)

I really get on well with my teachers, and I like the way the classes are structured. The mix of theory and practical makes it more interesting and enjoyable. I come to UCF on Tuesdays and Thursdays after work. It’s funny because my son is currently studying his GSCEs so we are both revising together. 


Chinga

Level 2 counselling skills

I love that I’m amongst like-minded people, mature learners finding a new purpose and following their passion to hopefully make a difference in other people’s lives. It’s like going back to school, acquiring new skills in an inspiring environment among fellow students who are eager to learn and enjoy the experience.


Adam

CIPD Level 5 Diploma in HRM

I have really enjoyed getting back into studying, however studying around a full-time job of course has it’s challenges. It is nice that the units are taught in weekly chunks, allowing the flexibility to complete assignments as and when you are able to.
