University of Development Studies - UDS
speciality: Nursing

What stood out to me the most was how the school allowed us to participate in field practice, placing us in rural communities for several weeks. This experience pushed us out of our comfort zones and enabled us to engage with people from diverse cultures and backgrounds for our research projects. It helped us develop empathy, adaptability, and a deeper understanding of diversity.

The combination of classroom theory and hands-on field practice ensured that we gained both academic knowledge and practical confidence. Although managing the demands of academic work and field experience could be challenging at times, the support from tutors and colleagues made a significant difference.

I would highly recommend this school to students who are passionate about classroom learning and seek a hands-on, community-centered learning as well.
