Case Studies
Amy Drake
“Being taught by people who had worked in industry and could share their knowledge was invaluable. Hearing about how they has used certain techniques in the past provided a sense of realism to the course.”
Nikita Manley
“I heard that UCP was holding an open event, and given it’s close by, I thought, why not? I decided it was worth keeping my options open and went along. As it happens, I spoke to the Head of Criminology and a current Criminology student, who completely won me over!”
