Brathay team-working session
When you start your course we offer you the opportunity to get to know your fellow students better at a team-working residential session at Brathay in the stunning Lake District National Park. The session is packed full of fun activities that help you to become an effective team member - a key skill that employers look for when recruiting.
“The Brathay residential was a very rewarding experience. I was able to bond with my classmates and meet people that I may have otherwise not spoken to. The activities that took place at Brathay were challenging at times, but that’s what made it so great. I would highly recommend attending. The Lake District is also one of the most beautiful places in the UK!”
