Did you know our Conductive Education course is the only one in the UK to qualify you as a professional conductor? Our Conductive Education student, Megan, kept a diary of one day in her life during placement and explained to us what life as a conductor is all about.

CHARLOTTE SMITH
Charlotte never believed she would be able to go to university because of her dyslexia, so she just went straight into being a teaching assistant at a special school. While she was there, she started to study for a child care qualification and is currently studying to become a Learning Disability Nurse. During her time at BCU, she is the first person to be a dyslexia ambassador at the only university with dyslexia accreditation in the UK.
Our Facilities
We’ve expanded and improved the health and nursing facilities at our City South campus. Our facilities offer hands-on practical experience with professional standard equipment and simulation activities.
