Meet our Graduates

Since I have completed the third year, I came straight into an outdoor job in NW Scotland leading hill days, crag sessions, sea kayaking and a variety of other sessions.

Emily Wormald

BA (Hons) Outdoor Leadership

The atmosphere at UoC was nice, relaxed and not pressured. I loved the freedom to devise my own project and in my own style.

Gemma Stubbs

BA (Hons) Performing Arts

I chose UoC because it's home to the National School of Forestry, and well known in the forestry sector.

Harry Wakefield

BSc (Hons) Forest Management (with placement)

It enabled me to fulfil my dreams of becoming a Head Teacher- it’s as simple as that!

Mathew Atkinson

PGCE General Primary with QTS (5 -11 years)

The course was clear in its aim to get students into the Police Service or the Criminal Justice Sector. The lecturers have years of experience many having held roles within the Police Service.

Michael Hird

BSc (Hons) Professional Policing

Studying at university has taught me that determination will get you through. Uni can be challenging at times but four years on and I'm about to reap the rewards in my future career as an Occupational Therapist

Michael Parkinson

BSc (Hons) Occupational Therapy (pre-registration)
