What made you choose a health care career path?
I chose a course in Osteopathy as a natural progression from my sports therapist career.

Why did you choose Oxford Brookes?
I met with the programme leader and he made me feel very comfortable with the resources and dynamics of the course at Brookes. The fact that the course was in-house at a university was also a bonus, offering me the diverse aspects of a university education.

What have been the best parts of your student experience?

• Placements - what have you enjoyed?
  The guidance and support from clinical tutors is invaluable.
• Student support - how much support do you get?
  As a visually impaired student I require some support to facilitate my progress through the course. Brookes has been an extremely amenable and supportive organisation.
• Do you find Brookes Virtual useful?
  Brookes Virtual is a fantastic resource, offering course material, links and guidance for each and every module.
• What is the Social life like?
  The social life in Oxford is phenomenal. Every night there is something to do, or somewhere to go, with a diversity of entertainment to suit every taste.

What advice would you give to others?
Think seriously about what course you want to undertake, it is a decision that can change your life!

Would you recommend your course to others?
I would have no hesitation in recommending the course to others, and indeed have to many of my work colleagues.

Are you planning any further education/training?
I am not sure if further education following my graduation is a feasible plan. I think I will wait till I graduate and see how hungry I am for further knowledge and learning.
