Personal Best

Being at university is a unique opportunity to develop your skills.

It is a time when you can reflect on your interests, values and passions to help you discover who you are and what you want to achieve.

Personal Best is an exclusive programme for all students, developed by the University with guidance from employers. It is designed to help you identify, develop and articulate the skills you are gaining at University through a combination of lesson support, online resources, alumni events and group activities.
