Student Profile

Matthew

"I decided to train to become a mental health nurse after being a support worker for deaf children with mental health difficulties. I enjoyed the teamwork involved in caring for young people, and the way the whole team focused on the best interests of the person.

"I hadn't been in an education environment for some time and as a mature student, felt a little unsure about my academic ability. Kingston University had lots of support networks in place ranging from maths help, to support with writing styles and money management. I found I was able to tap into lots of resources to help me through the study and learning process, helping me to grow as a person professionally and privately."
