Student Profile

Sean Howe

Having previously completed my PGCE at Cardiff Met, I was thrilled at the opportunity to further my studies and progress onto the education master’s course. Studying at Cardiff Met allowed me to deepen my understanding of core issues in the classroom and education setting. I have learnt so much. The biggest benefit has been the flexibility, collaborating with other practitioners and linking theory to my practice. As a result, I am now a more reflective teacher.
