Secondary Mathematics Teacher Stoke Newington School

As a returning student to education many years later, I am grateful to have chosen to study at UEL and for the experiences that it has offered. At UEL, there is a sense of community and genuine care from the lecturers within the Education Department for student performance. The support and guidance given throughout my undergraduate studies certainly gave me the strength to attain a first class honours degree, a potential that I did not know that I was capable of achieving during my first year at university. Thank you UEL!

BEN SAVAGE

People Advisor Royal Academy of Engineering

I decided to take the leap and sign up to a 3-year full time HR Management degree at UEL. This was not an easy decision as I had three children and rent to pay. I can honestly say it was one of the best decisions of my life. Within a few months of starting my degree I applied for an internship within the HR department at UEL. I was successful in my application, so I decided to quit my part time job. When I was near the end of my internship I applied for and got a fixed term role as a Recruitment Administrator. I then moved to being a HR Assistant at which time I finished my degree with a First. I then moved to be a HR Advisor. I stayed at the University for over 5-years and now work for the Royal Academy of Engineering as a people Advisor. Thank you UEL for helping to change lives!
