SWAP Access to Arts , Humanities and Primary Education
One of the reasons I decided to study SWAP at Fife College is the convenience of the location . The course that I wanted to study was local to me and made sense to achieve my studies locally .
I have enjoyed getting back into learning the most , and the different challenges that the course gives you . There are so many different elements to the course , you get the opportunity to discover what you like best , including Child Development , Sociology , Maths , Communication and more . I plan to become a social worker , and I have now got a place at Stirling University to do my BA ( Hons ) starting in September .
