Law Student Testimonial

I am Yomayra, a current law student. Last year I applied to ARU through a student agency in Spain and was given two options, the first was to go straight into a law degree at university, the second option was to do a foundation course first.

Studying Nursing as a Mature Student

I have always wanted to become an adult nurse, however at the age of 45 I felt that it was too late. In September 2019, I dropped my son off at university where I was mistaken for registering as a student myself.

A look back at my time at ARU College

My overall experience has been great. I have always found support and a friendly face ready to help with my queries. The final year was hard. For the first time I had to request a few extensions to submit my assignments as I was not 100% good, in terms of mental health.
