Sarah, Fdsc Psychological Studies, BA Human Behaviour Studies

"I decided to study a Higher Education course at Petroc because it is local to me and did not require excessive travel.

I wanted to return to education to broaden my options when returning to work after raising my 4 children. As a people watcher I felt that the psychology course would be of most interest to me and provide many options for future employment.

I absolutely loved my time at Petroc, I feel I benefited from studying within a smaller community. My lecturers were very personable and always available to provide guidance.

I would recommend Human Behavioural Studies to anyone who has an interest in this field."
