    GRADUATE INSIGHTMaking a career change can be a daunting prospect but Constance Farrell found the transition from being a nurse to studying the University’s popular MSc Advanced Computing an easy one thanks to UWS.Constance said: “After completing a Bachelor of Science in Adult Nursing at UWS, I gained employment as a registered nurse in the NHS where I worked in a clinical role for several years. I began to develop an interest in the role of technology in advancing healthcare and discovered a passion for computing science by learning aspects of programming in my spare time. I then decided to purse that passion academically through postgraduate study, with the goal of furthering my skill set and changing to a new career in technological research.“The University’s School of Computing, Engineering and Physical Sciences has an excellent research network and connections with industrial partners which I found appealing. I completed my undergraduate degree at UWS which was such an enjoyable experience that I decided to return for postgraduate study.
