Because of the smaller groups, tutors can actively contribute to our growth, I feel like they want to see us succeed.
What struck me most when first started here was the lack of negative energy, peer pressure and competition, which is very refreshing for an honours programme.
It's for people who want to do more than one thing and want to be able to combine courses however they want
I have been more confident than ever to speak out for my opinion, but also to approach others to ask for help.
My first semester at UCM confirmed that I made the right choice.
My first impression, when I first visited UCM's common room was: feels good, I wanna stay here.

Time to get... dramatic!
This reimagining of the classic Shakespearian play ‘Twelfth Night’ is set in mid-1920’s Sicily. It follows the story of the twins Viola and Sebastian, who have been separated during a ship wreckage. This comedy is filled with disguise, romance and misunderstanding, but surely, the Shakespearian happy ending is guaranteed!... or is it?
Catch this play Monday and Tuesday night at UCM!

What is project period like at UCM?
'Project period has been one of the most fun periods at UCM up to now! As freshmen, we get to work with friends and even meet strangers. During project period, my partner and I have been researching how 9/11 affected the economic and political status of the US. We have been very surprised with our results!'
