6 years ago on mat leave I applied to college. It was tough, then a competitive interview process to get into my top uni choice. I've given 100% with one day absent, no extensions and family health issues. Today, it's official I got a first-class honours after 5 years of study!

Have you been out of education for more than 3 years? Then our @SWAPNational course could be the one for you!
Sociology, Psychology, Politics and ICT are just a few of the fantastic modules taught.
