London variant preview
I started looking around at what options were available in terms of universities and when I attended Staffs Open Day I felt comfortable and like I could fit in here. Since coming to the University, I can definitely say that I made the right choice, the teaching staff are so supportive and encouraging and they have definitely helped me get to where I am now. I was encouraged to try new things and to step out of my comfort zone with a placement year which took me to America! There is a huge sense of community within the University and I wouldn’t be where I am today without it.
