“I looked at a number of universities, but only applied to UcWA. The range of topics covered was very comprehensive and the campus was well-equipped. I had excellent and extremely knowledgeable tutors at UcWA. student support, mentoring and course development were always at the forefront of their minds. By the time my class had graduated, we were a tight-knit, supportive group of capable veterinary nurses.”
