I transferred to York St John two years ago from a different
university and I'm so glad I did. York St John University's
friendly and supportive atmosphere makes university life what it
should be; fun and inspiring.
When starting my first year on the BA (Hons) Children, Young
People and Families programme, it struck me how lucky I was to be
part of this University. I look forward to the lectures; they
are always fun and engaging but also in-depth and you always feel
well equipped for assignments. We study such a
broad range of topics that I feel I am fully prepared for
potential jobs or further study in the future. This was
tested not that long ago when I went for a job interview and ended
up being offered an even higher position!
The academic staff and tutors are some of the most fantastic and
inspiring people you will meet as well as extremely supportive and
attentive, something that isn't often found within other
universities. This is particulary useful when it's the end of
term and everyone needs some guidance and direction with
assignments.
Before I came to this University, I always thought I was rather
average academically, it wasn't until I studied these topics I
found I really wanted to learn, and now I've started getting
Firsts! The passion and knowledge that is passed on to you is
invaluable. You will learn to challenge your own opinions and
assumptions. In studying on the Children, Young People and
Families programme, I can guarantee you will be enthused, you will
be pushed, and most of all, you will take an experience away
with you that you will always treasure.
