I choose the University of Leeds because of the environment, the open plan University, the atmosphere and the look and feel of the University. I wanted to pursue a career in which each day would be challenging yet rewarding and no two days the same; child nursing is essentially that, I love putting a smile on children’s faces and helping them get well in the best way possible.

The highlight of my course has been getting into my role and going out on placement to practice what I want to do best. Developing essential skills in the space of a couple of weeks has been invigorating and exciting.

I would definitely recommend the University and the course to other people. It’s a rewarding course surrounded by great lecturers and a brilliant student union. I plan on pursuing a career on a children’s ward.
