"UCIL has been a hidden gem to discover (sadly in my final year). The experience of studying a UCIL module has allowed me to develop different skills as well as explore an area of interest in detail and for credit!"
Anonymous student studying Why China Matters.
"I got to surround myself with peers from different year groups and courses which I found enjoyable as we learn a lot from each other."
Fariha, studying Entrepreneur: Innovator and Risk-Taker

Andrians, studied Communicating with Confidence
"Since taking this course, I've become a much more positive, communicable, and confident person.
However, I couldn't do it if the course was not taught by an experienced, compassionate, and dedicated lecturer like Elaine. She helped me to smoothly get into the course without pressure, answered every question I had and always gave a helpful advice."

Dheeran, studied Understanding Mental Health
"I thoroughly enjoyed taking a UCIL unit as part of my degree.
I appreciated the flexibility of the online delivery format, as you had the freedom to work through it in your own time.
This unit was also valuable for developing my critical thinking and analytical skills; both are transferable and valuable for life beyond university.”
