“The work placement experience provided the opportunity to develop my counselling, teamworking, organisational and time management skills. It also enabled me to build my confidence, as well as create and implement a project. My lecturers and tutors were very helpful, they went above and beyond to help. From guidance to having one-to-one support on coursework. One of my most memorable moments from my time at university was meeting new people and friends from different cultures and backgrounds.”
