This is the second episode shining a light on a unique new course running in SETU. The Certificate in Personal Development is a two-year Level 6 course, which aims to offer adults with intellectual disability an opportunity to experience university life and become students in higher education in the same way their siblings and typical adult peers do.
As year one of the course draws to a close, course leader Catherine Kelly-Mason and lecturers Deirdre Barry and Vicki Anderson joined me to discuss the importance of the course and what it means to them professionally and personally. Our previous episode featured 3 students were invited to to the podcast studio to reflect on their first year as university students, as well as some content from the celebration day held to acknowledge their achievements to date.
