Nicole found her place at UWS - find yours!
Nicole is a graduate of our BSc (Hons) Chemistry programme and is currently Team UWS Sports President.
It doesn’t matter what course you’re involved in at UWS, anybody can take part in sport. You also meet people outside your course, which is great. And it’s nice to see friendly faces around the corridors.
Joining UWS was the best decision I ever made – from having the best support possible from the lecturers, to the community feel here; I’ve made best friends for life and I’m so glad I chose UWS!”
