STUDENT STORY
Sarah Ritchie
Advanced Certificate : SWAP Access to Health and Life Sciences
This course was able to bridge that gap for me as I progressed from National 5 level onto Higher . The lecturers have been excellent in preparing me in my personal and academic development . I always knew what I wanted to do , and my lecturers helped me to get there .
“ I decided to study this course because I had spent quite some time away from education , and I wanted to go back to university .”
