An adult learner at Bury College University Centre recently celebrated a huge achievement, marking a significant step on their journey towards their dream career.
Mikey's journey
Having left school without any formal qualifications, Mikey made the decision to return to education and study the Access to Higher Education Diploma at Bury College University Centre. This course gives students the opportunity to gain a Level 3 qualification that meets the entry criteria for a wide range of universities.
With his course recently completed, Mikey is now progressing onto degree-level study, driven by a desire to become a social worker.
“The biggest achievement for me was that I left school with nothing and I’m now an educated man. I’ve been accepted onto an honour’s degree and I want to become a social worker. I couldn’t be prouder, it’s phenomenal,” says Mikey.
During his time at Bury College University Centre, Mikey felt supported by staff.
“Bury College gives people opportunities, and they never judge anybody. They give you a chance to be someone in life and be better at what you want to be” he added.
