Our Students Say...
Jeanette Gibbs, ABMU (Chronic Conditions Management)
"The major benefit of studying Chronic Conditions Management is that it enables me to practice evidence based care, which in turn aids my practice in mentoring students and work colleagues. My hope is to achieve my goal of providing excellent care, and enhance my future career."
Judith Burnett, Cardiff (Health Care Law and Ethics)
"Since starting the course I have successfully applied for promotion and am now a Sister on a busy general intensive care unit in Cardiff. The course has given me more confidence when dealing with patients, relatives and colleagues, particularly when difficult decisions need to be made. The course has definitely improved my knowledge, skills and confidence, and positively impacted upon my career development."
Mohamed Al-Abri, Oman (Health Care Management)
"The programme provided me with a way of looking at my work environment from the outside - helping me see what needs to be improved. This was an invaluable experience and, as well as this, the lectures and open student discussions were excellent."
Nick Groves, Cardiff (Health Informatics)
"This programme has improved ability and credibility when working in this field and it has opened up further opportunities to pursue this section of my work."
Ruth Hopkins, Swansea (Public Health and Health Promotion)
"I think the fact that I was studying for an MSc helped me to secure my current position as a Service Manager within the Environmental Health discipline in my current post in south Wales, which was a promotion for me. If I had to make the decision again, I would do it again without reservation."
Hannah Bemand, Herefordshire (Public Health and Partnerships in Care)
"The programme has already helped my career! I feel that knowledge gained from this course definitely enabled me to successfully apply for my current job. The course has also helped me to better understand and deal with the issues and challenges that have arisen since."
Andrea Bozza, Canada (Abnormal and Clinical Psychology)
"The MSc Abnormal and Clinical Psychology is perfect for developing knowledge and skills for the career I would like to go into. Each week presents new lecturers specified in their particular field of study, and each brings such a passion and depth of knowledge of different mental disorders. It allows me learn each mental disorder in depth, which is beneficial for a career due to the need for specialisation."
Ting Wang, China (PhD Psychology)
"Upon successfully completing my undergraduate degree, I decided to continue my study at Swansea and to apply for a place on the doctoral programme for these reasons: The strong behavioural expertise presented in areas from basic research to applied behavioural analysis; the state-of-art research facilities that keep your research at the frontier; the frequent research seminars with invited speakers that broaden your horizon; and the bi-monthly and half-a-year reports of progress that help you stay on track."
