Student Profiles
Paige Read - BSc (Hons) in Equine Science
“The facilities are better than at other universities. You’re treated like an individual and get amazing hands-on experience.”
Equine student Paige loves the hands-on learning at UCBB’s facilities which she thinks are fantastic. She finds the academic team incredibly supportive and values their expertise and the inspirational guest speakers that come onto campus. She enjoys the smaller class sizes, as she knows her fellow students and the lecturers really well. Paige loves that she is treated as an individual and that the atmosphere on campus feels like a family.
