What if I could work alongside study and family commitments?

Aoife Hamilton

Part time study opened the door for Aoife to continue working while achieving her degree in Children, Young People and Their Services.

Flexible learning was key to fast track her career alongside raising her family. She has since completed her PGCE and is now a University Lecturer with aspirations of completing a Masters Degree in Education, right here with BCUC.
