The University Centre has excellent facilities and I always feel relaxed and at ease when on site. I've yet to meet a staff member who isn't friendly and helpful and it's a nice change when everyone greets you with a 'good morning'.
I have had spinal surgery several times and require a crutch to get around. I had to retire from my previous career and I am registered as disabled, but am slowly on the mend. The HE team have really helped, advising me on courses and a career path, and assessing my needs regarding my mobility. The biggest thing my tutors have done is to boost my self-confidence."
