      Name: Sophie Ibberson

      Course: BA (Hons) in Sport, Physical Education and Health Top-Up

      "I chose Barnsley College University Centre as I liked the thought of smaller classes and more time with your course tutors. The timetable also enabled me to have a better balance with work and university. The compact timetable enables you to work consistent times outside of university which makes for a great work/life/study balance. I enjoy the application of the course to the real world. Everything is related to the industry, and we've always got the opportunity to put our learning into practice."
