Student Success

I absolutely loved the course and I miss it. I have been having chemotherapy to treat blood cancer throughout my course and Angela, my tutor, has been so supportive.

When I started the course I was already a mum to one child and pregnant with another, so sometimes things were quite stressful, but my tutors supported me all the way.

My tutors were very supportive and all through the ups and downs at every step there was someone there. I thoroughly recommend the course because the tutors just ‘get it’ and allow you flexibility.

I chose the course because it embodied a lot of my creative interests. I really enjoyed studying at UCSE, I learnt so much and because the class size was small we had access to one-to-one tutoring.

My tutors were lovely and very knowledgeable and it was a privilege to have access to the resources of the Royal Opera and Ballet. 

The course was very hands-on and interactive and I feel that it has prepared me for my future career. It definitely gave me more skills and, because we were taught how to use both analogue and digital equipment, it broadened my horizons. 

I feel incredibly proud. After dropping out two years earlier, walking across the stage and receiving a special award was surreal. It's a moment I'll keep with me forever.

My advice to anyone considering a T Level in Early Years would be to work hard, stay dedicated and actively participate in lessons. Getting to know your classmates can also make the experience more enjoyable, fun and exciting. When it comes to placement, I would recommend building positive relationships with both the staff and children, as this can help you feel more comfortable, reduce stress and make the overall experience much more rewarding.
