I can do things now that I would never have imagined before. As a busy mum, I thought I’d struggle, but I’ve found I can sit down and put my mind to things. It’s really changed my life.

The Fastrack programme gave me the confidence and direction I needed, introduced me to the campus and people and taught me how to write academically. Even if just a small part of you is thinking about doing this course then I would definitely recommend it

Similar courses were available at other institutions, but I felt that Fastrack at Edge Hill was the only place to fully prepare you for the course, giving me the confidence that I was starting on a level playing field with other students coming straight from education.
